Lesson 6

Cell-phones and Kids

It wasn’t so long ago that parents asked their kids

to double-check if they had a pager so they could

call home, if needed. Then cell-phones came along.

Most teenagers and some children carry cell-phones

with them everywhere. Parents are totally clueless

about what kids do with their cell-phones. They take

pictures, send text messages, surf the web, play

games and listen to MP3 player.
