Abstract
Technology has dramatically changed the frequency with which US youth access the Internet as well as what they are doing while they are online. In this entry, the authors first examine US children’s and adolescents’ Internet access and use by age, ethnicity, and device (e.g., mobile phone, computer). Next, they discuss how US youths’ earlier online behavior trends, such as visiting chat rooms, have been replaced with activities such as communicating and creating content via social-networking sites. Finally, the chapter examines emerging trends in US youths’ online behaviors that have yet to be researched and explored.
