By the end of this chapter on minors, internet-enabled devices and online shopping behaviour, readers will be able to

Identify fundamental benefits and harm engendered when minors have unlimited access to internet-enabled devices
Locate the main catalysts of benefit and harm to minors due to internet usage
Show how a priori studies have created a rich and balanced narrative in the field of benefits and harm of the internet to minors
Argue how the benefits outweigh the harm (or vice versa) impacting on minors in unlimited use of the internet
Develop strategies to enhance the benefits and limit the harm caused by unlimited access to the internet

The author would like to thank Matthew Brown, Lynda Hyland, Krishnadas Nanath and Rim Hamacha for their expert insight that benefited the chapter.
