THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.



Wired Teens



CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: Thanks for logging on! I'm Carl Azuz, and you've found the first CNN Student News Webcast of the summer! Now you obviously know what you're doing, when it comes to the Internet. And through video games, MP3 players, and Internet-capable cell phones, one thing is certain for many American teenagers: You guys are wired! So this week, we're going to take a look at what you're plugged into. Beginning with a report from Heidi Collins, about the possible effects of all this multimedia.

HEIDI COLLINS, CNN REPORTER: Its dinner time at the Cox family, but no one is rushing to the table. 14 year-old Bronte is busy at the computer IM-ing, checking Myspace.com, listening to music and talking on the phone - ALL at the same time. Her twin brother, Piers is doing his own juggling act. He's watching South Park, playing a computer video game and IM-ing with friends.



GEORGINA COX, MOTHER: They're in their own little worlds and its so hard to get through to them.



COLLINS: For mom and dad, dinner seems like a nightly battle.



STEPHEN COX, FATHER: Its intensely hard to pry them away. You get used to this insane lack of attention.



COLLINS: It's always been tough to get teens to turn off the TV or computer, but kids like Bronte and Piers present a new challenge. They are part of what some call "Generation M"...teens who like "media multi-tasking."



DON ROBERTS, STANFORD UNIVERSITY, COMMUNICATIONS PROF.: More and more today, kids are spending more and more time using two and three and possibly four media simultaneously.



COLLINS: It's the art of juggling between video games, instant messaging and Google searches And a 2005 Kaiser Family Foundation study says that half of all 8 to 18 year olds use more than one media tool most of the time.



Its not that kids are spending more time using electronic media...that actually stayed the same at 6 hrs and 20 minutes every day. But by playing with more gadgets at once, it's closer to taking in 8 ½ hours of media time every day. Piers prides himself on being a better multi-tasker than his dad.



PIERS COX: He might have music playing, and also e-mailing and typing. That's about all he can pretty much do. I can watch DVDs, IM, Play games and do it all at the same time.



COLLINS: But experts warn that multi-tasking even when you're young has its liabilities.



DAVID MEYER, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN: Given what we know about the nature of human mental processes and the wiring in the brain it's pretty clear that they, as well as adults and most everybody else suffers in terms of efficiency and performance when they try to multitask.



COLLINS: Stephen and Georgina worry that their kids school work is suffering too.



STEPHEN COX: There isn't enough passionate time or focused time spent on things. For example, if your studying history and IMing on the phone and doodling here, you're not really immersing yourself in the whole story...you're just glossing over it.



DON ROBERTS: On the one hand kids are processing more information, the question is, are they processing it at the same depth.



COLLINS: Right now there is no evidence that kids who spend a lot of time multi-tasking do worse in school or that it affects their comprehension. But research in this area has just begun. For the Coxes, the first priority is to get everyone around the dinner table every night.



STEPHEN COX: There's too much time spent on some of these gadgets and we're taking steps to limit that time.



COLLINS: Heidi Collins, CNN, New York.

Fast Facts



AZUZ: Time for some Fast Facts! Teenagers, lend us your ears: Technology may be giving you a head start on hearing loss. In a recent survey, more than half the teens who took part said they'd had ringing in their ears at one point or another, or that they've had to pump up the volume on the radio or TV. Now there's no proof that MP3 players or cell phones could be hurting your ears. But 82 percent of American teens say they use cell phones regularly. And tens of millions of Americans have bought MP3 players. So the important thing to keep in mind is to keep the volume down!

AZUZ: The bad news is, that's not the only danger of being connected. Some folks are having trouble unplugging at night when it's time to hit the sack. On the upside in wireless news, cell phones may be getting cheaper...assuming you've got time, instead of money, to burn. Deanna Morawski brings us more on these stories, and tours us around a sometimes weird, wired world.

DEANNA MORAWSKI, CNN STUDENT NEWS REPORTER: Download this -- you may soon be calling your friends courtesy of Diet Mountain Dew or X-Box. Virgin Mobile plans to kick off a new service next week that'll let customers of its prepaid plans earn free minutes for watching and reading advertisements Users can watch 30-second ads, after which they'll be asked some questions. Correct answers will score one minute of airtime The company currently charges 25 cents a minute under its Minute2Minute plan. That means a customer who watches 75 ads could earn almost 19 dollars in airtime for less than an hour's work That's a pretty penny more than you'd make flipping burgers!



If you've had your fill of spam recently -- no, not this kind...the e-mail kind -- you can breathe a sigh of relief... One of the world's most notorious spammers is no longer a threat to your sanity. A 24-year-old spam king from Texas - who's admitted sending as many as 25 million e-mails a day - has settled lawsuits with Microsoft and the state of Texas It's costing him at least a million bucks, forcing him to sell his house and BMW, and requiring him to stop sending the nuisance e-mails. Now, instead of overloading strangers' inboxes, the University of Texas grad plans to help Internet companies fight spam.



If you're fighting to stay awake in class, a recent national study says it could be because you're too wired - literally. Today's teens have more computers, cell phones, TV's and video games in their bedrooms than ever before - and are staying up later because of them, it says. As a result, high school students are more likely to fall asleep in class, be late - or miss school altogether, and fall asleep at the wheel. Experts say an optimal night's sleep for teens is nine hours. So if you're getting less than that, you might think about unplugging a bit earlier. For CNN Student News, I'm Deanna Morawski.
