Objectives
 

The conference will bring together key constituencies – academe, industry, foundations, federal agencies, advocacy groups, and the press – to address critical research needs in the area of human development and technology. Its three main objectives are:

• to assist in setting a collaborative research agenda on the effects of interactive media on child development,
   
• to encourage development of funding resources for this agenda, and
   
• to raise public awareness of the crucial needs and exciting opportunities in this area.
