Summary/Abstract: Adults are increasingly using technology (computer, tablet, smartphone) as a vehicle for establishing personal relationships (as evidenced by the proliferation of online dating sites), but also for more practical purposes, such as getting directions, watching news or entertainment, or performing tasks at work, and the general trend is growing. In relation to the current context we find that the influence of technology will be even. Cyberbullying has a variety of attributes that can accentuate the impact of bullying behavior: for example, the potential to include a wider audience; anonymity; the more sustainable nature of the written word; and the ability to reach the target at any time and in any place, including previously considered safe environments, such as the harassed person's home.
