phones, the Internet, and TV are essential parts of their everyday life. Teenagers
prefer to spend their free time surfing the Internet to reading books. They don’t like
reading because watching TV is easier and they don’t have to use their own
imagination. Teenagers prefer to spend free time in front of a computer rather than
doing physical activities such as playing football, riding bikes, or going swimming.
