Videogames And Teens
- A Rite Of Passage? - The correlation between teenagers and videogame
usage is high. A survey conducted by the CEA, 84 percent of teens surveyed between
the ages of 12-17 have a videogame console in their home, with 58 percent playing
for at least one hour per week. The results of the study explore teens' videogame
habits, including the number of years they have been playing, with whom they play
and how they learn about new games, as well as videogame system characteristics.

Lie Busters: Liars
Beware - Your Time May Be Up - Lie Busters: Liars Beware - Your Time
May Be Up -- Watch out all you unfaithful lovers, scrupulous politicians, and untruthful
sales people - lying might soon be a thing of the past if a business in California
takes off. Some devices are portable and can be carried around with you, other types
are software programs that you load onto your computer and will even let you test
people right over the phone. So beware, the next time you lie, the person you are
talking to just might be testing you to see if you are being honest with them. Internet
