As "wired" as young adults have become these days - think cell phones, mutliple email accounts, blogs and membership in multiple social networking sites - they are starting to become more wary of issues related to their wired environments...
1) Increasingly, young people have been dealing with "online bullies" - who post anything from embarassing photos to online threats.
2) Privacy is becoming a reaal concern - students on facebook.com rebelled when they realize that updates on their pages were automatically forwarded forwarded to contacts they didn't necessarily want to have the information.
3) Increasingly, young people also are realizing that things they post on their profiles can come back to haunt them when applying for school or jobs.
