The Digital Street has come to define the interactions and communication among African American teens offline that transitions to an online space. One clear example is the number of fights that take place in the inner city and other urban neighborhoods  that are uploaded to social media channels such as Youtube, Instagram, and Twitter.

Dr. Jeffery Lane from Rutgers University is the authority on the Digital Streets. He  is an urban ethnographer who writes about communication and community in the life of the inner city. His research integrates face-to-face and digital fieldwork to understand how interpersonal relations and ties between people and institutions unfold over time.

The Digital Street is the title and subject of his forthcoming book with Oxford University Press on the networked communication that brokers street life. The project draws on nearly five years of ethnographic research on- and offline in Harlem with a set of teenagers and the adults concerned about them.

On this episode of the Digital Parent podcast. Dr. Lane discusses how street life played out on social media has led to an increase of police surveillance of young African American males. We discuss how teens use weapons and violence to uphold the Code of the Streets. This street code now takes place online.  Jefferey and I discussed some of the following topics:

• Why Are Teens Uploading Fight Videos Online?
• How Are Inner City At Risk Youth using Social Media?
• Why are Teens Accepting Friend Requests from Strangers?

• How The Community Can Set Up Twitter Alerts to Stop Violence
• How Girls Use Twitter to Screen Out  Potential Romantic Partners
• Why Some African American At Risk Youth Use Weapons on Social Media for Protection

Digital Citizenship is under serious attack. In a recent Huffington Post article, Republican Nominee Donald Trump is taken to task as an anti digital citizen and cyberbully based upon his attacks against Hillary Clinton and Republicans.

David stopped by the Digital Parent Podcast to discuss how teens can become more human and kind online. David argues that once you are more human then you will become a better digital citizen.

David cover some common topics such as  tech etiquette, digital diets, digital citizenship, post-death communication, mental obesity, selfie culture, and family tech use. David and I discussed some of the following topics on the show:

• How can parents teach digital citizenship?
• How can teens become more human on line?
• How has the internet empowered kids to adopt  different personas?

• How teens get caught up in social media metrics such as "Likes"
