Gone are the days when Television was the culprit that kids were overexposed to; these days it’s Social Media and the Internet. Also, the arrival of Mobile technology (Cellphones, Ipads, etc.) has meant that accessing the web through Mobile has overtaken fixed internet access, with many people using their phones to access the internet most of the time. What is even worse is that today’s teens practically grew up/grow up with a cellphone in their hands, with most owning a ‘Smartphone’ which they use for more than just phone calls.
