This book explores the history of American children and media, focusing on the ways in which new media enter into and become part of children’s lives. Cassidy examines a selection of "old media" when they were "new media," with an emphasis on understanding how children used those media and how adults felt about children’s use of new media. These media will be considered in the context of the times in which they were introduced. For example, what else was happening in society at the time? What was the experience of childhood like? What conception of childhood was dominant? With this historical context established, Cassidy concludes by looking at present-day children and their use of digital media.
