Thanks for that article.

I've been a proponent of that idea for a while, just didn't have the data to back it up.

Your average American teen (I'm only 22 and I see a shift from my high school days) is so closely monitored and tightly caged (Curfews, stranger danger, gas prices) that without the ability to reach out to their friends digitally they would be a 'generation' (Using the term loosely) of hermits!
