(apologies for cross-posting) Invitation: Is the internet good for children? https://www.lse.ac.uk/Events/2024/11/202411271830/Is-the-internet-good-for-c... Wednesday 27 November 2024 6.30pm to 8pm (drinks reception to follow) In-person and online public event Sheikh Zayed Theatre, Cheng Kin Ku Building Public anxiety about children's digital lives and wellbeing is reaching a fever pitch, marking a notable turnaround from the decades-long efforts to ensure children are fully digitally included, literate and empowered. While arguments rage over what's wrong with 'screen time,' 'online harms,' and data-driven forms of exploitation, this lecture hosted by the Digital Futures for Children centre will examine how a children's rights lens can help steer an evidence-based path towards better digital futures for children.
