Who doesn't love the astonishing leaps technology has made? It makes our lives not only easier but also longer. Who could live without a refrigerator? What teenager doesn't have (or at least desire) an iPod? Technology is essential to the modern American lifestyle.

Mom should know that girl is making life plans with boy
I'm a 17 year-old girl, and I've been dating this man who is 21. I've been telling my mother that I've been going out with my friends, and I've really been going out with him. We're in love, and he's (been) telling me that we're going to move in together and start a family. Should I believe him? Should I tell my mother that I've been dating this man and that I might be moving in with him ... or should I keep this a secret?
