In the past several years the number of teenagers using the Internet has grown by 24%. (1) ..., about 87% of those teenagers aged from 12 to 17 are now online. (2) ..., teenagers’ use of the Internet has intensified and broadened. They continue to log on more often and do more things when they are online.

There has also been big growth over the past years in the number of teenagers who play games, get news, shop, and get necessary information, all on the Internet. (3) ... ... has the number of users increased, ... ... the variety of technologies teens use to support their communication, research, and entertainment purposes.

Modern technologies have enabled a variety of new methods by which teens can communicate with one another, with their parents and other people. E-mail, which once was the cutting edge “killer app”, is losing its position among many teens as they express preferences for instant messaging (IM) and text messaging as ways to connect with their friends. To them, e-mail is more and more seen as a tool for communicating with adults such as their teachers, and institutions like schools. Another way of using e-mail is conveying lengthy information to large groups.

They (6) ... use it for their own personal expression. By using buddy icons and other customisation tools, teens can express themselves with a particular look and feel and differentiate themselves from one another. Other IM tools allow for the posting of personal profiles, and even “away” messages, which let others know when a user is away from the computer but wishes to remain connected to their IM network.
