The book provides up-to-date research on the role of digital technologies in children’s, adolescent’s, and young adult’s lives, and how they navigate developmental tasks and issues utilizing these technologies.

While highlighting topics such as mobile addiction, online intimacy, and cyber aggression, this publication explores a crucial developmental period in the human lifespan and how digital media hinders (or helps) maturing adults navigate life. This book is ideally designed for therapists, psychologists, sociologists, psychiatrists, researchers, educators, academicians, and professionals.
