    What Adolescents Miss When We Let Them Grow up in

    Cyberspace

    Vocabulary and Comprehension

    1) The word hermetic means staying in an enclosed space


    without the influence of the outside world. In the
    paragraph, it refers to the enclosure of the
    teenagers/children in their rooms using the Internet
    without connecting with the nature outside.
    2) Teenagers who spent much of their lives hunched over
    computer screens miss the socialising which is the real-
    world experience that would allow them to leave
    adolescence behind and grow into adulthood.
    3) The causes are given below in the following:
    a) Teenagers avoid the adult’s scrutiny in their lives by
    using emails, discussion groups, instant messages
    online chat rooms.
    b) Younger people use the Internet to replace face to face
    interactions with their families and friends by staying
    connected over the net.
    c) Online shopping, checking email, web surfing has a lot
    of the young people to spend their time at their ease
    without doing the activities in the traditional way.

    4) Negative effects of Internet provided by Staples are:


    a) Due to Internet use, teenagers have less socializing,
    which causes them to be less prepared to step into the
    adult life.
    b) The young people are more isolated than ever from
    their friends and families because of the advantage on
    online chat rooms, instant messages.
    c) Researchers showed that teenagers who spend most
    times on the internet have faced loneliness, depression
    and also lost a real-life friends after joining the online
    activities.

    Critical Thinking
    1) The story about Marcus tells us that they can create false
    profile of themselves making them more powerful,
    creative and knowledgeable.
    2) Growing up Brent had the opportunity to have social
    encounters outside his family members. A story shared
    by him is the time when he had met the father of the girl
    he liked, and he explains how different it was to prove
    his worth to her father then. He had the experience of
    dealing with people in real life interactions which is
    missing in the lives of teenagers now. Teenagers do not
    encounter such social interactions anymore which makes
    it harder for them to thrive in the adult life.
    3) Staple mentions that with the help of internet teenagers
    had the chance to protect their social life from adult
    scrutiny and can have much safer access to their own
    lives.
    4) In my opinion, Internet had made life our life much
    easier now. We have the access to the whole globe while
    sitting at a one location. Most importantly, it allows us to
    have communication with our loved ones while being in
    different continents.
