It is said, that the next generation will be the first one to have all the current technology present before their birth. This generation has had broadband, mobile internet, mobile telephony, and high speed mobile internet a few years before they were born, and new technology is coming in swarms. Therefore, it is but obvious that the next generation of kids will want mobile phones earlier than the previous generation thought about buying one - or pestering their parents to buy one. If you are wondering whether it is the right time to buy a mobile phone for your kids, ask these questions.How much time does the child spend out of home?Quite frankly, a child would require a mobile connection only if they are away from home, and not in a place where communication is simple.

Pre-teen sexuality Is pre-teen sexuality up for grabs?The outfits of the young girls (read teens and pre-teens) in the Indian metropolitan cities are nothing but a projection of tawdry sexuality and teachers in the school are pretty disgusted at the trend that is fast capturing the school girls in small towns too. A hottie is present everywhere and is expected to uplift the party mood in the pubs. But the trouble is not with the outfits as much as the gaze of the naughty school guys and perverted adults.The Western and Japanese print medium has used lot of columns condemning the contemporary sexy fashions of the teens and pre-teens as more and more girls are being seen as participants, both active and passive, of the new culture that is now engulfing Indian pre-teens too.Advertisements and serials featuring women dressed as little girls sucking lollipops, or lying in a suggestive position of surrender is polluting the formative minds of the teens. Walking on a very thin line, most teens have been infused with the notion that a finely sculpted figure is to be exhibited more aggressively than be just being proud of it.The yesteryear icons of feminine sexuality...more
