Teenagers spend a lot of time in their bedrooms hanging out with their friends, but your average teenager's bedroom has changed a lot in the past few years. Up until recently, teenagers had teddy bears, dolls, sports equipment, tape recorders, board games and the odd radio in their bedroom. Nowadays, these traditional toys are all but gone and innovations such as MP3 music players, tablets, smartphones and games consoles are popular instead! A recent survey showed that seven out of ten British teens have a TV in their room and six out of ten have a games console. Two-thirds of 12-15-year-olds in the UK have a smartphone, while around one in three have a digital music player (MP3), 80% have a computer (PC) or laptop, and10% of teens have plasma TV. So, it's not surprising that around a third of the kids have gadgets worth up to £2,000 in their rooms! How do they pay for them? Well, nine out of ten of them receive these hi-tech goods as Christmas or birthday presents, while others save their pocket money or earn the money through working. Some parents might be shocked to find out that their son or daughter could be sleeping on a gold mine. It seems fair to say that as new technology increases so does the value of kids' bedrooms!
