Gadgets leading to breakdown of family and destruction of society
A survey of British youngsters aged 11 to 14 found that 80% have their own cellphone, most have a television and a DVD player and/or VCR in the bedrooms, and 25% have their own computer, and that they generally prefer spending time alone in their rooms chatting with friends online (or on their cellphones), playing video games, or watching TV rather than spending time with their family. This is especially disturbing news because before the rise of inexpensive electronics teens and pre-teens absolutely loved hanging out with their parents all the time.
