It is almost a full time job; a recent study found that the average teen spends about 31 hours a week online.  What are they doing on cyberspace?  Probably a lot of the same stuff you are - they chat with friends for about 3½ hours, they are clicking through pregnancy and family planning websites for around 1½ hours and they spend about an hour and forty minutes checking out the dirty (and I am not talking about the celebrity gossip site).

It's one giant stride in the struggle to bring teenagers and adults closer together and to end the gap that divides the young'uns and the old folks like us.  We are all the same when it comes to internet surfing deep down inside, but does the older and wiser generation rule the net?  Where do you stack up against the teens and their interwebs usage?
