 * TEENS ARE WIRED... AND, YES, IT'S OKAY**

In this certain article it talks about how teenagers from the age 12 to 17 are to clingy to the technology now a days. Due to technology the teens aren't really communicating face to face like their parents did back then. Even though they don't communicate much face to face they use their cell phone or computer to do it. The use of the computer had increased in a small year, the kids from the age of 12 to 17 say they use the internet for half an hour. They spend about half the time they spend on their homework and that it isn't really good for them to do so. Which shows on their grades, that some schools in some states have banned cell phones in school.

1. Nearly half of the teenagers are on the internet for more than three hours. 2. About half of the teenagers only use Myspace or Facebook to change their status. 3. 24 percent of teenagers from the age of 12 and 17 have been using the internet for gossip or news. 4. Not only are the teenagers obsessed with the computers but with their cell phones. they nearly spend about an hour a day on their cell phones, basically the same time they would give to homework.
