Digital Living Room Conference Explores How Kids Will Fare in the
Digital Future
SAN MATEO, Calif., June 4 /PRNewswire/ -- What happens to kids when every home becomes part of an all-digital
entertainment, information and marketing network that changes the way families interact with the world around them?
How do we balance instant access to information and greater exposure to advertising with the need to keep kids safe
online? What happens to privacy of children in an interconnected, all-digital world? Will they be at a greater risk of
exploitation?
Those are among the questions to be debated and discussed in a special segment of the first Digital Living Room
Conference, says executive producer David Coursey. Created by Upside magazine and David Coursey, DLR will take
place June 21-24 at the Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel in Dana Point, CA.
Larry Magid, a syndicated columnist for the Los Angeles Times, host of SafeKids.Com and passionate crusader for
children and teens, will host and moderate the discussion. Magid, an author and frequent guest on radio and TV talk
shows, received the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's ''Ten Year Anniversary Award'' for
developing a system for finding missing children online. He also serves on the board of directors of Telis, a non-profit
educational foundation dedicated to improving network access for low-income and disadvantaged families. Magid's
columns are available online at larrysworld.com, safekids.com and safeteens.com.
