High-tech TEENS

Teenagers spend a lot of time in their bedrooms hanging out with their friends, but their bedrooms have changed a lot in the past few years. Children used to have teddy bears, dolls, sports equipment, tape recorders and board games there.

Nowadays, these traditional toys are forgotten and innovations such as MP3 music players and computer games are more popular instead.

Social tests showed that seven out of ten British teens have a TV in their room and six out of ten have a games console. More than half the children have a DVD player or a Hi-Fi system, while around one in three have a digital music player (MP3) or a personal computer (PC), and 10% of teens have digital TV.

It’s not surprising that all these gadgets cost about 2000 pounds. But how do the children pay for it? Well, some of them receive their high-tech goods as Christmas or birthday presents. Others save their pocket money or earn the money through working.

However, parents understand that these high-tech gadgets are the big part of their modern life.
