Howard Gardener, the founder of multiple-intelligences theory discusses the challenges ethics and education face as digital media become more prevalent.

Gardner tells us that what is unique about digital media and our era is that you can be as young as 7 or 8 and participate ... in some kind of a social network site or game and you are in touch potentially with thousands and thousands of other people. So the former lag between behaving morally toward people you know and behaving ethically toward people in the community who you don't know - that's been lost.
