Instant Message
SUMMARY:
The video by Josh Davidson & Leigh Sturgeon, “Instant Message”, is based on a short story of actual events. This home video is a submission for Project Direct for Sundance Film Festival 2009. The story is on a little girl who is too often neglected by her family and turns to a friend she made online in a chat room. This poses the question for parents – Do you know whom your kids talk to online? The film highlights several issues pertaining to youths these days, such as sexual predation and solicitation. Many malicious IM users use the software as a tool for communication between their preys. As such, ethic and proper usage of IM comes into question. How then should parents and peers educate youths on the safety of using IM? What security measures are available on IM software’s to protect youths?
