Whether it is to post a video on YouTube or just talking to a friend on facebook, the internet has become a dominion with out rules for the adolescence to play The documentary also goes to a university setting to find the effects of the internet at the college. One woman states in the documentary that “The internet has been the greatest generation gap sense the advent of rock n roll” This applies to the college environment because English teachers of today are either having difficulties teaching or are going in completely new directions with different philosophies.
