We're running a webchat on Thursday evening (9-10pm) with Dr Mary Aiken, forensic cyberpsychologist and the inspiration behind Avery Ryan, the leading character (played by Patricia Arquette) in CSI Cyber.

Mary's new book The Cyber Effect looks at the ever-changing effect of digital technology on human behaviour. She is particularly interested in the effect on developing children and the book aims to answer many of the questions Mary is frequently asked in her work: 'At what age can my baby start watching digital screen?' 'Is it okay for a toddler to play with an ipad?' 'Is there a connection between online gaming and ADHD in young boys?' 'Should I allow teenagers to spend hours on their smartphones?' 'Does technology contribute to social isolation?' and 'Can real relationships be formed in cyberspace?'

Join the discussion and put your questions to Mary on Thursday (8 September) between 9 and 10pm. If you're unable to join us on Thursday, then do post a question on this discussion thread before then.
