Volume : II, Issue : IV, May - 2012 NU (DE) MEDIA: A PRELIMINARY STUDY INTO THE YOUNG PEOPLES' ACCESS TO PORNOGRAPHY THROUGH THE NEW MEDIA Ravi Shankar Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Over the last few years, the rapid growth of new media has dramatically transformed the way we
communicate, live and work. In the process, new and increasingly complex social, ethical, legal and
regulatory issues have emerged which society and policy makers will have to grapple with. For example,
problems such as protecting children from access to harmful and inappropriate content, Internet addiction
and cyber bullying have become more pronounced. New media has changed the way we communicate,
work and live. The extensive use of broadband Internet and mobile phones among youngsters reflects the
positive attitude that they have towards new media. However, it is not without risks. Along with its many
benefits come new social, legal, regulatory and ethical concerns. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Ravi Shankar, (2012).

- The concept of the “digital native” and the “digital immigrant” was proposed by Marc Prensky in 2001. Digital natives describes the generation of people born into the digital world and are “'native speakers' of the digital language of computers, video games and the Internet,”.
- Digital immigrants are those born in an age before computers and have adapted to the new environment. Prensky suggests that despite being adaptable, digital immigrants will always retain a “digital immigrant accent” and instinctively react in the traditional manner they were originally socialised to react.Prensky, M.
