It comes down to understanding the role of technology in their lives in terms of how, why, when, and what they use. Purposes at this point in time are diverse – work, social, enjoyment, and information sharing are all major reasons young adults use technology. Addictions to specific types of technology such as sexually explicit material or gaming have a longer term and potentially negative impact on young adults who don’t understand the meaning of technology in their lives. Using technology for “hooking up” has its own set of dangers. Online victimization starts early, and parents of teens and young adults need to include conversations about how to stay safe online and in their use of technology.
