Developing Minds and Digital Media

Launched in 2007 with funding from the James and Judith K. Dimon Foundation, the Developing Minds and Digital Media Project (also, known as DM2) is a study of the myriad ways in which "new digital media" -- the internet, cell phones, and the like -- influence the culture, pyschology, and creativity of young people and of adolescence as a developmental phase. The project explored issues through qualitative interviews with professionals who work with adolescents and through content analyses of young people's creations, including their writing and art work.
