their perception of time and space, and their default sense of self.
You Will Learn How To:
- Navigate the challenges of investigations involving millennials
- Examine the platforms that millennials use to communicate
- Distinguish between digital immigrants and digital natives
- Recognize the common types of exploitation and harassment that adolescents and millennials face in their digitally connected world
