Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Parents give their children access to technology so easily because they believe that if their child has a cell phone, they can reach them at any time and know where they are at all times. However, they don't realize the other consequences of this technology, including the spread and intensity of gossip, humiliation, and drama. #2 The effects of technology on our society are widespread and far-reaching. It allows people to be mean and vicious without ever having to face the consequences. #3 You should know your child's password, and make sure they don't share it with anyone. You can check to see if your child is texting at 2 A. M. by looking at your phone or cable bill. #4 The rules of engagement are the same for technology and for your children. You must not use it to humiliate, embarrass, send personal information, misrepresent yourself or someone else, or use passwords without their permission.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The wannabe-corrupt politician, who was visiting from a neighboring village, was a balding man in his midforties. He had run several times for a seat in the provincial parliament, but he always lost to someone else who came to the area right before the election and promised to give people more money. #2 The villagers were told that carbon trade had become a big thing in the countries - by which he meant every place outside of Papua New Guinea. The countries were running out of air, and so they had sent their emissaries to Papua New Guinea to get air. The villagers were offered money for their land if they signed the form. #3 I visited the Australian National University in Canberra and spoke to professor Laycock about where I should do my doctoral research on language death. He suggested I go to Gapun. The villagers there were perplexed that a white man would come to them and announce he wanted to live with them and write a book about their language. #4 I decided to return to Gapun because I liked the villagers, and they wanted me to stay. They promised to build me a house, and they explained that the children no longer wanted to learn Tayap. They were too bigheaded to speak the language.
