Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Ms Lauren Reynolds:

I am 17 years old and it is maddening to think technology has come so far in the past few years. We had LeapPads back in the day, a tablet with no access to the Internet. I had a Dora laptop on which I could only play games. There was no access to the Internet. I am sure there are kids' toys available, but they are being given access to technology on which they can access dangerous things.
