Teen Online Culture

The culture of the internet has changed in the past several years – the new generation of internet users are not only young – they’re using the internet in new ways and building morals and foundational elements of themselves through the use of social networking sites, online casino poker sites, and file sharing sites. A Swedish research study was just announced – the study is powered by a Swedish university and aims to study teen morals and how aspects of the internet are shaping teen morals. The study will be the first of its kind in the world – the researchers hope to identify social patterns that are formed in teens from their interactions with the internet – all with the idea of altering future legislation and regulations to better protect teens from issues stemming from online casino poker playing and use of social networking and file sharing sites.

The research study is scheduled to run over four years and will rely on the participation of several companies that have agreed to work with the researchers. Some of the companies participating include: MySpace, The Pirate Bay, and Svenska Pokerförbundet. Additionally, the research study will follow a group of ninth graders over four years – in depth interviews will ascertain the teens’ use of online casino poker sites, file sharing and social networking throughout the four years. The researchers also have plans for larger scale studies in the future.

The issue of teen morals shaped through their online habits is a subject that is really very rarely addressed in governmental legislation and regulations. Naturally the government as instituted restrictions and the such to protect teens from the online casinos and poker sites as much as possible, but teens are still able to access free-play poker gambling sites and thus build up their gambling habits and tendencies.
