We
live in the age of the internet. The internet has affected all aspects
of daily life and forever changed how the world connects and
communicates. In China, recent studies have shown that 90 per cent of
children have access to the internet; 56 per cent of children are less
than five-years old when they use the internet for the first time. It’s
like a door has been opened to an exciting new world of opportunity for
children - a world of information, interaction, entertainment and
participation in social life. They are a generation of digital natives.
However, the internet can become like an invisible wall that separates
children from their parents. Children are exposed to a myriad of
attractions and challenges before they are ready. In the digital age,
parents and caregivers need to start a conversation with their children
about how to stay safe online and take steps to make it happen. Through
this art installation, we hope to give parents and caregivers an
insight into the online experience of children. The aim is to enable
children to enjoy the many benefits of the internet and to stay safe
from harm online. Communication | Understanding | AccompanimentCreate a positive online experience for children
