- A Decade of Children's Media
-
Amy Kraft shares what she feels are the past decade’s most groundbreaking products and contributions to children’s media: from Dora the Explorer, Yo Gabba Gabba and They Might Be Giant’s “No!” album – media and cultural artifacts that have become loved by children – to YouTube, the Nintendo Wii and Apple’s iPhone – technological breakthroughs that have changed the very fundamental ways in which children interact with media and culture.
Astonishing to think about how different all of this – kids’ mediated cultures and the ways they contribute to and interact with childhood – was even just ten years ago. A lot can happen in a decade, I guess.
