Growing up on Facebook examines the role of Facebook, and other social media platforms that have emerged around Facebook, in mediating experiences of 'growing up' for young people.

Recenzje

"Unlike generations which grew up with TV, radio, and movies, to grow up on Facebook means that one's life is sustained and somewhat enabled by a medium. This engaging book reveals what happens to human development as it is enveloped in the architecture of platforms. Brady Robards and Siân Lincoln offer remarkable insights on life, love and maintaining a sense of self while growing up, on Facebook and off." -Zizi Papacharissi, Professor and Head of Communication, University of Illinois at Chicago
