How does technology affect teenagers?

Answer 1

technology affects teenagers SO MUCH! infact 82%of teenagers have facebook and use facebook atleast once a day.

Teenagers communicate far more through chat sites like facebook, msn, twitter etc rather than in person.

Its more convenient and it's readily available. for example, most mobile phones these days have a facebook app automatically uploaded, and teenagers bring their mobiles everywhere ofcourse so they find it incredibly convenient that with one click of a button they are logged into facebook and telling all their friends what their doing right at that very moment.

The only down side is that a teenager may only feel confident through the chat site, and become dependent on it (or become addicted). They might become shy when talking to people in person because the experience can be quite daunting.

The benefits of using chat sites to talk to people is that you can't see their faces, therefore you can feel a little more confident speaking your mind without the feeling their staring you down.

Also if you say something wrong or affencive, you can always delete it from the chat site where as if you say something wrong or affencive face to face, the situation may not go down as smoothly.

In conclusion, teenagers prefer to use technology to communicate because it is quick and easy, they obviously do still like socialising face to face but communicating throught the internet is far more convenient.
