Due to the development of a great number of new digital technologies in the last twenty years, an amazing variety of new media forms has emerged. Web pages, instant messaging, online games, multimedia CD-ROMs, hypertext fiction,...
Many argue these and other forms of the new media are reshaping our understanding of how we live and work and of what it means to be human. We will explore these claims by answering questions such as: do the digital media fundamentally alter the nature of the human self? Furthermore, particular attention will be paid to the influence of new media forms concerning child development and child violence. Much has been said about the media and their influence and opinions diverge. One widely accepted opinion is that the media only enforce a person’s attitude, others think that the media influence at least parts of our lives. However, it cannot be denied that in the last twenty years a rapid growth in information technology has taken place and that new forms of communication have emerged.
