Image what a teenager is like, how they can be rebellious or even want to be independent that there is no one there to tell them what to do.

and technologies, in a non-violent way. ‘Each side sought to prove the superiority of its technology’. However in poorer country the cultures there have not been able to adapt to the change in technology and have fallen far behind. For instance Cambodia in homes and outside of the tourist areas there are only old, bulky, windows 98 computers, and never a Television over twenty-five inches.
