How do new tecnhologies affect young people?

Nowadays there are a lot of new tecnhologies that can affect people, especially, young people. Many years ago young people played in the street or went out with their friends to have a good time. On the contrary nowadays we have a lot of things to entertain ourselves like computer, play-station, mobile phones, television...

These new technologies I believe affect young people a lot because they have more free time and this is causing harm in society.
Internet is the technology that affects more people but now the majority of mobile phones have Internet and you can speak with to friends. Without paying therefore the phone comparies losing money because people don't send messages and they don't call.

In my opinion, I think that the parents will have to watch their children because they waste a lot of time with this. Moreover, nowadays Internet is very dangerous because there are a lot of crazy pepole that cheat.
