Abstract

Adolescents today interact with digital media in almost all aspects of their lives, including communication, entertainment, and formal education. Research indicates that adolescents are using interactive media to grapple with many normative offline developmental issues such as identity development, peer interaction, relationship building, and learning. This article describes how interactive media are used by adolescents in the first decade of the twenty-first century; and then connects this media use to issues concerning adolescent development.
