4. Since today's youth are digital natives, they are adept at using technology in many different ways. Now that technology is a part of their daily existence, I have observed that some young people are using it wisely to the point where it has given them opportunities. For instance, many teenagers are interested in video blogging, creating YouTube accounts, making music videos, and many other inventive activities. However, some people are suffering as a result of technological developments due to improper use of digital devices. This is primarily due to the fact that most young people are not conscious of digital citizenship. I believe it is crucial that parents and teachers start teaching kids about digital citizenship at an early age.
