The internet is part of our lives- most of us check our phones far more often than we’d care to admit. We love our little devices but too much time online can lead to stress, over-sharing, low self-esteem, loss of concentration and may expose us to online abuse. Nicola Morgan provides a balanced and well-researched look at what happens to us all, young and old, when we spend time on our screens; the wonderful positives and worrying negatives. The Teenage Guide to Life Online reveals the facts, ideas and fascinating science behind what happens to us all when we spend time online. The mind-expanding advantages and the mind-shrinking risks. This book is about what the internet does our lives; how it entices and persuades us; and, crucially, how it distracts us. It empowers you to take control of your time online– to keep it from controlling you !
