Recent technical advances have shifted the ability to access the internet from using a desktop computer to being able to access the internet anywhere and anytime by a wireless connection.

Adolescents’ everyday life is to a great extent controlled by what can be done online, they communicate and interact socially online, read blogs, browse the internet for knowledge and information, download music and movies. Some find online communication more comfortable than face-to-face interaction, in particular when sharing information pertaining to them. The internet also allows adolescents to connect to friends and relatives living far away.
