• “For this generation and the generations to come, digital connectivity is part of the landscape of life.”

• “By virtue of its very ubiquity, technology itself has ceased to be the important factor. Instead, it is the activity--what young people are doing with the technology--that defines the experience.”

• “Teens' levels of engagement are defined along a continuum of practice that ranges from 'hanging out,' to 'messing around,' to the more invested 'geeking out,' depending on individual interest in a given media activity.”

• “Internet-dependent issues are actions that cannot occur without the Internet, yet the underlying ethical issues are familiar and perennial. Without the Internet, there would be no viruses, no spamming, no flame wars, and no hacking.”

• “The latest 'copyright frontier' is defining fair use as it applies to remixing portions of copyrighted work.”

• “The unadorned, original meaning of the term 'hacking' is merely this: clever programming, a willingness to share it, and an appreciation of the same talent in others.”
