influenced by their parents. About the future child-related Internet research, it is worth to reconsider using which method to get in touch with children can be more advantageous to access the information.
5.3.2 Social Network of Blogs Links
Blog activities are not individual. The observations and interviews show that there is great relevance between children’s blog behavior and their friends’ blog-links.
Aiming at the social network and concept of friends’ blog-links, the future research and analysis can go much further. Children blog activities are not individual, but strong interactions with others. The future research may study the network behavior formed by blog cluster and how it affects children to establish identity.
5.3.3 Blogs and Media Literacy
The blog is a popular personal platform. 40% of children of higher grades in primary schools are using it in Taiwan. Whether to guide students to build a class blog together or to teach them to build personal blogs becomes indispensable in IT education at school today. However, blogs not only give children the power to speak out, but also result in more and more cases of turning the virtual bullying into the real bullying. In future research, maybe we can discuss how children in reality use the media platform focusing on personal voice, thus to change the research orientation on past media experience focusing on recievers.

other network media. It not only offers a stage for children to show themselves and perform, but also links different users’ personal space, in order to make children shuttle in several blogs, thus developing the important interactive culture in daily life.
The interaction function of the blog itself helps users to find like-minded friends, and share common interests and preferences. Also because of this, the Internet of interpersonal interaction becomes more complex. In the past, children came home from school, and made home as a safe place for them to play and grow up; today, children also came home after school. They can immediately link to “heterotopias” as Foucault mentioned via network, where they seem to have opened another door to walk out home, and enter the little world built by themselves, where there are no demands, restrictions or protections from parents or teachers, and they are the rules of their own games.
Using blogs empowers children the possibility of freedom creation. In this digital bedroom, they record life, share creations, and try to present the self by some words or some decorations in this digital bedroom. However, the literacy education of children in digital media is not mature enough in Taiwan. There are many worrying bullying, abuse, and even the confrontation and disputes in the virtual world become the real campus problems.
The blog is just a start of “I’m the media” in Internet age; newer media on the Internet will be created in the future. I believe that children will develop multiple innovative entertainment culture in new technology.
