5D Culture Corner Exercise 1, page 51 High tech teens Teenagers spend a lot of time in their bedrooms hanging out with their friends.0:01
But your average teenager's bedroom has changed a lot in the past few years.0:24
Up until recently, teenagers had teddy bears, dolls, sports equipment, tape recorders, board games, and the odd radio in their bedroom.0:29
Nowadays, these traditional toys are all but gone, and innovations such as MP3 music players and games consoles are popular instead.0:38
A recent survey showed that 7 out of 10 British teens have a TV in their room and 6 out of 10 have a games console.0:48
More than half the children have a DVD player or a hi Fi system, while around one in three have a digital music player or a computer, PC or laptop.0:55
And 10% of teens have plasma TV.1:06
So it's not surprising that around a third of the kids have gadgets worth up to £2,000 in their rooms.1:10
How do they pay for them?1:16
Well, nine out of ten of them receive these high tech goods as Christmas or birthday presents, while others save their pocket money or earn the money through working.1:18
Some parents might be shocked to find out that their son or daughter could be sleeping on a gold mine.1:26
It seems fair to say that as new technology increases, so does the value of kids bedrooms.1:32
