In my opinion, the morale of this story is simple. Technology is not a solution. When we bring in new technology, we are responsible for teaching people how to use it ethically, and for monitoring their activities. The latter task is for creators of digital platforms to handle; the first one is for media and digital literacy educators. And, since new media and digital tools pop up every day (Yik Yak, for example), these educators definitely have a lot to do. The importance of their work cannot be underestimated. Only if we teach people how to use technology in responsible ways, it can be really used to connect us.
