• W4490548 abstract "In 1817, an author in the New England Palladium and Commercial Advertiser wrote about the impressive increase in the quality and variety printed materials being used by teachers and students. He argued that if the next age, therefore, is not a wise one, the fault will neither be in the books nor the tutors. (1) What he did not know about the next age was that it would witness the rise the mass press, and that certain kinds inexpensive books would aggravate, exasperate, and worry parents and teachers. Of particular concern dime novels, which became wildly popular among children (and adults) in the latter part the nineteenth century and whose sensational content was often regarded as inappropriate for children. The title my presentation comes from an 1885 issue The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine. The article describes the suicide of a young boy whose mind had become disordered through reading dime novels. (2) It goes on to talk about a group boys calling themselves the 'Jesse James Gang' who were indicted for larceny to which they had been prompted by the same pernicious stuff. (3) Other publications from that time described dime novels as outrageously disgusting, (4) very distasteful, (5) miserable stuff (6) that sears the better part a boy's nature (7) and depraves the taste. (8) The language some these criticisms might sound quaint and dated today, but the concerns that expressed about dime novels remarkably similar to the concerns adults are expressing today about our new media. As we think about the meaning change in our children's lives, we need to know that we are not the first to wonder about it. Clearly the landscape is changing rapidly, but children have been active and enthusiastic users for centuries. In colonial America, hornbooks dangled from schoolchildren's belts. A hundred years later, children thrilled that the dime novels called pernicious by their parents and teachers designed to fit neatly in their pockets, where they kept them stashed away until school was dismissed for the day. Now, children's jackets come with pockets specifically designed for iPods and cell phones, and school dismissals across America produce daily waves children pulling out all the handheld electronic devices that they kept hidden away during school hours. According to a 2010 study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, (9) 66% American 8- to 18-year olds owned a cell phone in 2009, and 76% had an iPod or MP3 player. The amount time children spend using each day averages about 7.5 clock hours, and nearly 11 hours when media multitasking is taken into account. Seventy-four percent American children in seventh to twelfth grade report having a profile on a social networking site. Many the statistics in the 2010 study showed substantial increases in ownership and use from a similar study conducted by the same researchers just five years earlier.10 The environment children is changing rapidly, giving us a great deal to think about. This is where I think we need to turn first to the deep historical context that can inform the present struggle to understand how children and adolescents use to understand themselves and others, to negotiate social and romantic relationships, and to learn about the world outside their direct experience. Contemporary concerns about the potential dangers social networking sites and mobile communication devices, evidenced by the increasing incidence cyberbullying, sexting, and privacy violations are not all that different from nineteenth century concerns about dime novels, the telegraph, telephone, photography, and the phonograph, not to mention twentieth century like film, radio, and comic books. We are not the first to experience profound, destabilizing, and disorienting shifts in our environment. Parents always seem to struggle to understand new and how those fit into their children's lives. …" @default.
