Introduction

As new technological devices are created, and the internet becomes the primary source of research, teenagers are continually being bombarded by new gadgets constantly. More companies are developing devices that have practically helped diminish teenage interpersonal skills.
My blog will focus on technology and the specific effects on teenagers, parenting, and marketing. According to United States Department of Labor; the statistics show computer systems design, and other related services as expected major sources for employment opportunities in the future. The example below shows the internet growth rate, and how it continues to increase. The graph also reveals the increase in internet usage worldwide.
As technological devices and social networks are upgraded teenage behaviors are affected at home and in school. At home, technology makes it more difficult to monitor what teenagers are doing on their cell phone, internet sites, games, and television. With access to numerous cable channels, parents are forced to limit or block certain networks in order to monitor their children viewing capabilities. Meanwhile, companies are still targeting teenagers to increase their sales and gain higher ratings by using popular music and young stars in their ad campaigns.                                                                                                                 http://www.internetworldstats.com/emarketing.htm
