I use the Internet for chatting with programmers via irc, learning (on youtube, blogposts, stackoverflow, coursera, academicearth, stanford encyclopedia of philosophy, wikipedia, c2 wiki, etc.), writing todo lists, writing documents, read the news, and have discussions. I use social networks to ask about homework, but that's it. That video was displaying the worst possible, most extreme scenario of how kids might use the Web/Internet, it's not an accurate portrayal of what most teenagers actually use the Internet for. Sure, these things happen, but it isn't as prevalent as Frontline portrays. P.S. In case you might not know, I'm a teenager.
