When you make a good internet generation!

When you say the scientific studies that children and adolescents using digital media (Internet, mobile and iPad) at a rate exceeding sometimes eight hours of the day, this means simply that these methods affect them more than half of waking hours per day, and that these means may be the strongest influence in young people, if the good is better, although Fischer evil.Numbers and statistics exceed the expectations of the person about the size of this effect, especially with the link to the growing of the new generation through technology in general, and this for me is necessary to establish an integrated vision how to deal with those means optimized so that the factors in building and developing rather be factors demolition and destruction.A term global concepts gradually crystallized his name «Digital Citizenship» (Digital Citizenship), which seeks to achieve this goal good. Digital citizenship as defined by the year is a set of ideas and principles, programs and methods that need parents, teachers, educators and supervisors on the use of technology should know so they can guide their children, students and users of technology in general. In other words, is the method attempts to load the responsibility of parents and teachers in dealing with this huge challenge, which is also trying to bring scientific research to work to find the optimal means to guide the young and protect them.The Internet is a forest open, with few laws and a lot of risk, a place where everyone, good guys and bad guys, criminals, and Hazon intellectually and morally, and fools, and leave the child or adolescent play and enjoy himself with all these without any protection or attention of the family is like leaving them in a forest wilderness, so that become survive or die is added to the shell only.On the other hand, the development of a climate of control and surveillance over the children turn the house to the environment, police, and exhausting to the nerves of everyone, and therefore seeks «digital citizenship» to find the best ways that protect adolescents and children, without access to state control of acute and especially as it has practically become impossible to control what seen by children and adolescents on the Internet and through mobile.Add to all this, that the spirit of rebellion created by digital media in general, created a negative impact on the national spirit among young people, and this is as illustrated by studies in the low levels of correlation patriotism or public service, and I think that this is not obvious to one that is located in the the Arab world. The national spirit is usually capable of treating many of the problems of the human spirit and broadcast the citizen so that his work and seeks to serve the people of the citizens of his state. When you go down the national spirit, a lot of corruption, neglect and poor achievement, while if we can actually make use of technology in raising the national spirit, it means harnessing the technology for the treatment of one of the biggest problems of the Arab, and perhaps surprised the reader that there are scientists, books and frames scientific endeavor to achieve this.There is also the experiences of Western, and the most beautiful experiences that I have seen is the Australian experience, which took the slogan «contact with Confidence: Developing the future of Australia Digital» (Connecting with Confidence: Optimizing Australia's Digital Future), and include teaching digital citizenship and the training of parents and teachers on the principles, including creating a vision integrated education we desperately need it.Citizen digital good as these approaches is a person who loves his country, and think of the public interest is used technology, it also behaves protected and protects privacy (especially children) of the criminals the world's forests digital and citizens is righteous, a person has the «digital compass» how to use technology optimally, also uses social media to serve the community issues away from the lies and exaggerations. In short good digital citizen is a person uses the Internet for good and serious work to protect others from harms.Perhaps surprising that there were no Arab initiative and the taste of any one color or tried to take advantage of the principles of digital citizenship, which is catastrophic compared to the size negative criticism in the Odbeatna against the Internet, compared with the level maintained in our upbringing of our children. This is why we are all responsible when negligence prevails despite the challenge and danger, and holds the Ministries of Education and private Arabic liability when he acts the most like living in a century earlier.Next week I will talk about some general principles and statistics in the «digital citizenship» ...
