My opinion, young people go to the Internet. To the Internet distribution system right now, you put it up there and it's accessed by the world.

I don't know why, but I'm continually amazed to think that two and a half billion of us around the world are connected to each other through the Internet and that at any point in time more than 30 percent of the world's population can go online to learn, to create and to share.

I know that youngsters want to find something in common with each other and feel closer to each other ideologically through bridges such as the Internet.

I first started using social media when I was 12 or something - not publicly; I had private accounts.

The biggest communities in which young people now reside are online communities.

Everyone is on the internet but they're not all talking with each other. There are groups upon groups out there, but they don't talk to one another. So while the internet brings everyone into a shared space, it does not necessarily bring them together.

While the digital age has done so much to improve our world, it has dramatically changed our social structure, often further isolating us from each other.

Anyone can use these sites - companies and colleges, teachers and students, young and old all make use of networking sites to connect with people electronically to share pictures, information, course work, and common interests.

The Internet can give young people a fantastic platform to become financially independent and have global businesses without leaving Russia.

As children, many of us were taught never to talk to strangers. As parents and grandparents, our message must change with technology to include strangers on the Internet.
