Teens don't understand the big fuss. As the first generation to grow up in a digital world, they hardly know a time when computers weren't around, and they leap at the chance to spend hours online, chatting with friends. So what? But researchers nationwide are increasingly concerned that, as cyberspace replaces the pizza parlor as the local hangout, adolescents are becoming more isolated, less adept at interpersonal relationships, and perhaps numb to the small and large deceptions that are prevalent in the email world. Researchers are
questioning how the futures of teenagers are changing when so many of them are spending an hour or two on the Internet each day, replacing face-to-face contact with computer screens. Social psychologists, including Robert Kraut, have expressed concern about the "opportunity costs" of so much online time for youths. He found that teens who used computers, even just a few hours a week, showed increased signs of loneliness and social isolation. In his study of 100 families using the Internet, Kraut noted that their computer time replaced hours they would have spent with others. "Chatting online may be better than watching television, but it is worse than hanging out with real friends," he said. Today's teens, however, don't see anything strange in the fact that the computer screen occupies a central place in their social lives, "School is stressful and busy. There's almost no time to hang out", said Parker Rice, 17. "Talking online is just catch-up time." Many teens acknowledge there's an unreal quality to their cyberspace communication, including their odd shorthand terms, such as POS (parent over shoulder) or LOL (laughing out loud). Psychologists see this code as part of the exclusive shared language that teenagers love. When it comes to email exchanges, teens also show a remarkable tolerance for each other's fudges or deceptions. Nor are they surprised when a mere acquaintance shares a personal secret through email. Nobody seems to expect the online world to be the same as the real world.
