Or so it would appear. Three quotes in 9 of 10 teens now using the Internet, a bland piece on teens use of technology, managed to shock me this morning:
“I’ve got my own cell phone, and I’m on it two or three hours a day,” said 12-year-old Omarah Scott of Chicago. “I talk to my friends, mostly about our plans.”
