Teenagers + Communication (as submitted to Planetary Magazine)

Submitted by Luciana Pimentel on Friday, October 08, 2004 at 07:56:09 AM EST.

Nowadays teenagers have a very special way to communicate. They use the internet a lot. This had to be a very good thing, but it’s not always like that.
The internet is not only on computers anymore. It’s with cell phones too. On the internet, teenagers have ICQ, Orkut, MSN, E-mail. And it is very good because they can meet new people all over the world, but some people do not tell only the truth and this can be bad, because it can put lives in danger.
It wasn’t always like this. In the past people, not only teenagers used to write letters to communicate, the telephone was used a lot too, but it was very different from today.
In sum, means of communication have developed a lot and are used more and more, specially by teenagers.
