VIDEO WEBCAST Originally broadcast live on Monday, October 23, 2000 Digital Childhood: A Research Agenda on Human Development & Technology This event is a one-day, invitation-only, working conference dedicated to the exploration of these questions - what is known, what critical research the questions compel, and how academe, advocates, funders, policymakers, industry, and the press can best work together to gather, disseminate, and utilize the scientific knowledge crucial to successful future lives with technology. Few transformations of the environment in which children grow and develop have been as dramatic as the last decade's explosion in interactive technologies. Personal and collective decisions - about, for instance, education, public policy, child-rearing - should be informed by cutting edge research on how new contexts defined by interactive media shape the developmental trajectories - of thought, emotion, relationships, physical competence - that have unfolded in young human creatures for millennia.
