Here are the questions for the Frontline Video we watched in class:
1) The video portrays a struggle between parents and their children in the age of technology. Do you think there is a solution to the struggle and if so, what is it?
2) The internet is still considered the ``wild west'' at this point and teenagers are able to flourish without adult supervision. One concern about this however, is safety. As addressed in the video, studies have shown teens are able to take care of themselves when approached by strangers online. The media often broadcasts the opposite view, however. What are your thoughts about this topic?
3) Cases of cyberbullying have grown more rampant in the last few years. In the suicide cases we discussed, the bullies are not punished by the state due to a lack of laws in place. There may also be problems with jurisdictions since cyberbullying takes place on line and knows no boundaries. How do you think that cyberbullying can be punished? Should there be an special task force/cybercourt to handle online cases or should laws be updated by our governments to handle these items?
4) How aware do you feel you were about the items seen in the video?
5) How do you feel about the video overall?

Hi professor. I just have one question: do we email our answers to you or do we print them out and hand them to you in class on Thursday?
You can email the answers if you like, or you can bring them to class printed out. If you email them, make sure to include your name and ``CS 12 HW 1'' in the subject line.
BTW, it is due Tuesday 2/19/08 to give you more time :-)
