https://bit.ly/3MML7Pc - 👩‍💻 In our increasingly digital world, children are spending more time online than ever. A recent study, EU Kids Online 2020, found that 62% of kids access the internet daily, spending an average of 2-3 hours online. While many children enjoy harmless hobbies, a small number might unknowingly attract the attention of organized cybercrime groups through their online gaming skills. The challenge is recognizing the potential signs of such exploitation. #OnlineSafety #DigitalParenting 🕹️ Excelling in popular online games such as Fallout or Call of Duty can inadvertently signal a child's digital prowess to criminals. Cybersecurity expert Mike Jones suggests these organizations identify potential recruits through their gaming skills and try to form trusting relationships with them. Their goal is to make these kids feel special, part of a community, and eventually isolate them from potential deterring influences. #Cybercrime #GamingRisks 🧠 The danger lies in children's ability to quickly acquire hacking skills due to the plasticity of their developing brains. However, their understanding of the potential consequences of such actions might not be fully developed. This combination makes them potentially attractive to criminal gangs who exploit their naivety for their nefarious purposes. #ChildSafety #CyberSecurity 👪 Parents' awareness and understanding of the risks can help set boundaries for safe online behavior. There is a need for parents to be more informed about potential online dangers, understand the signs of potential exploitation, and take appropriate measures. #ParentingInDigitalAge #CyberEducation 🔍 So, how can you spot if a child is involved in illegal activity online? Here are three signs: 1️⃣ Significant increase in time spent online, including during the night. If the child's behavior changes, they seem withdrawn or excessively tired, it might warrant further attention. #OnlineAddiction #DigitalHealth 2️⃣ The presence of multiple online accounts. Monetizing gaming skills can sometimes act as a gateway to serious offenses. Young hackers might also have multiple email addresses, IP addresses, or bank accounts. #OnlineFootprints #DigitalDetective 3️⃣ Using a new language, especially hacking-related terms such as script kiddies, DDoS, doxing, ops, bots, and phishing. Beware if they start using coded language to hide information when you're around. #CyberSlang #DigitalLingo Let's keep our digital world safe for everyone, especially our children. Stay informed and vigilant.

Online Gaming

Playing video games is an excellent pastime for young adults–especially boys. Who does not love to get lost in a virtual world and win a good game? While relaxing and playing a video with friends is quite ordinary, it must be done in moderation. After all, teens can become addicted to playing video games, decreasing academic performance, changing behaviors, and lacking peer interaction. At Destinations for Teens, our teen video game addiction treatment program will support your teen in learning how to play their games in moderation.

Teen video game addiction is a reality and can have long-term effects on young adults. According to one study from the American Journal of Psychiatry, an estimated one percent of Americans have a gaming disorder. While this might seem like a low number, it provides a warning as the concept of game addiction is new and has not been fully developed.

NO INTEREST IN ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND OTHER ACTIVITIES

Addicted gamers have no interest in doing anything other than playing video games. As a result, their ability to perform well at school will decrease–after all, when do they have time to do homework or study? In addition, previous extracurricular activities such as sports or community programs are no longer significant. Instead, a teen’s only focus is becoming a stronger video game player and not working toward other goals.

ASOS = As Seen on Screen

Did you know this is what ASOS stood for?  What a clever little acronym that not only creates a good brand name but also tells us something about today's advertising.   Advertisements  are literally everywhere on the internet.  I'm scrolling down Facebook and they're at the side of my feed,  they're halfway down my feed on Instagram and they interrupt my story watching on Snapchat.

  We don't realise that, while we're mindlessly scrolling through social media, we're constantly targeted by advertising campaigns and it's probably the best thing that ever happened for companies.  Traditionally, advertising campaigns were seen in magazine spreads, or on television and it was super obvious that they're trying to sell us things.  Does anyone even watch TV adverts or read magazines anymore?  Why would you when you can fast forward through the ads or read magazine articles on your phone.  

Big companies have taken this change in behaviour in their stride and now subtly place their advertisements down the sides of our phone screens.  How genius.  When I'm scrolling through Facebook, Instagram etc, I don't see them as adverts,  I just see a picture of shoes I like, with a link underneath.  How simple, I can buy the product within 5 minutes of seeing the advert.  The adverts aren't over the top sale pitches, their just gentle reminders that we might want this new product.  It certainly works for me, evidenced by my online shopping addiction.

Seriously, if you tell me you dont want a show that combines snappy dialogue, British quick wit and fantastic Canadian cameos (hello giant man named @kyle_andrew from the #Bachelorette..... how you doin'???) AND have them talk about the deliciousness of barley and hops that is one of the few perks of adulting.... #hugsnotdrugs #2guys1beer #canadianclassic #onlineaddiction #newepisode #beerporn #hamilton @collectivebrew #beerstagram #parody
