Plot summary
For the first time in history, mental illness and suicide have become one of the greatest threats to school-aged children in America. Many parents still view dangers as primarily physical and external and are missing the real danger: constant connectivity's pervasive internal assault on mental health. This film is an exploration of the dramatic technological and cultural shift that children and parents have faced since the rise of social networks and mobile devices. Childhood 2.0 dives into the issues of addiction and withdrawal, anxiety and depression, online abuse and bullying, the pervasiveness of pornography, the culture of sexting and unforeseen consequences, the rise of online pedophilia and sexual predators, the loss of free play and autonomy and the rapid growth of suicide among children and teens.

what is social about social media?
After having watched this documentary I felt sad. Sad for my kids having to grow up in this sociall media society. It shows me, other than keeping in touch with our kids, that all of the social media and the entire internet must be controlled more to a level that is acceptable for us and for our kids. I love the internet, because it opens up the entire world for us, but the bad things outweigh the good. I know that Google, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and a million others care more about their profits than they care about protecting people. They should set the example, for a lot of the misery begins with them not filtering content.
We point a finger to China, controlling what people can and cannot see, but is that really so bad? I disagree.
Why can't all these tech giants not shake hands and build one fantastic tool, cross platform, that gives us as parents an easy and efficient control over what oir kids are allowed to watch? The tools available now either don't work or are easily to circumvent. This is what this documentary has shown to me.
A MUST watch for EVERY parent!!!
This documentary was very informative and moving! I had no idea how many dangers children face on apps and their devices. We did not grow up with technologies that our kids are and we do not use our device the way they do. Parents aren't at fault for not knowing the risk and dangers- they just need to be educated and that is exactly what this documentary does! Every parents should be required to watch this before giving their kids a device so that they know exactly what their kids are getting into and guide them appropriately!
