Our purpose huh? Good question.
Basically we have a huge heart for teens, parents, and technology. And here’s why.
- Simply put, there is a big problem on the Internet and with tech in general, especially when it comes to teens’ use.
- We want to remedy that by helping teens get to the heart of the issues regarding their online choices (pornography, acting differently online than off, bullying, posting pictures that degrade themselves, engaging in risky behavior online).
Why now?
- Becuase kids are growing up in a new world of technology that if used imperoperly could cause harm to themselves or others.
- And parents are mostly out-of-touch with what teens are doing online (thus NPLB.net)
Mark Schreiber started Playin’ With Fire as a way to highlight these imbalances and to try to help remedy them through education of parents and teens on tech issues.
