A new data memo issued by the Pew Internet and American Life Project based on a telephone survey in October-November 2006 found that 59% of parents think the internet has been a good thing for their children, down from 67% in 2004. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> &#8220;The fact that the biggest increase has been in the number of parents who think the internet has no effect on their children suggests that parents are beginning to have a more nuanced view of the internet,&#8221; says Alexandra Rankin Macgill, author of the report. &#8220;It is a grey technology that can be helpful or harmful depending on how you use it.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Most parents check up on their teens&#8217; internet use &#8212; 65% say that they check to see what websites their teenagers visit. An even larger percentage of parents have rules about media consumption; 77% of parents have some sort of rule about their teenage children&#8217;s media use. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> The majority of parents also say that digital technology makes their lives easier, but their children are even more positive about the benefits of digital devices. 88% of teens report that information and communication devices make their lives easier, compared with 69% of their parents. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> About the Pew Internet &amp; American Life Project The Pew Internet Project is a nonprofit initiative of the Pew Research Center and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts to examine the social impact of the internet.
