Jovens e tecnologia; impossível de separar

«(...) "Nearly two-thirds of the young people surveyed said they think that the Internet, instant messaging, cell phones and other technologies make people happier, and 61% said those things make them feel closer to their family," said eMarketer senior analyst Debra Aho Williamson. "You simply cannot separate young people from technology; it is part of who they are."

Respondents generally said living without technology would be stressful. Nearly half of young people never turn off their mobile phones, even when they're trying to relax or "chill out."

Harris Interactive asked kids and teens in October 2006 what things made them happy. Having a PC made more than half of both groups happy. Mobile phones were more important to teens than to children.
