 FOCUS on Digital Media, 2009 - Group C

Welcome to the FOCUS on Digital Media discussions!

This is your place to have an open conversation about the way that digital media and the online world is changing your life, and the broader society.

Keep in mind that the people participants are coming from different backgrounds and ages, so even you don't necessarily agree with someone, do your best to hear them out in a respectful way.

If you need some inspiration, respond to daily debate questions you see when you log in, check out our Digital News page, and have a look at what other groups in the conversation are posting about.

And, of course, have fun!
