The presentation on PBS talked about teenagers living in the US live 'online'. Parents, teachers and/or previous generations feel the gap and differences between them and the teens. Most teenagers have their own computers in their rooms, making it even easier to communicate with others, and do homework assignments.
Due to the gap, teens are able to 'express' themselves online, saying whatever they like. They are able to make themselves out to be who ever they like.
The internet can also be a dangerous place with online predators. Other problems it can cause is plagiarism because there are many different works from where people can copy without permission.
