Did you read the article on ST? A survey research done in the US on students aged 8 to 18 found that "heavy users of new media like Internet and cellphones have poorer grades" in school.

Interestingly, another article reported that 'sex' is the 4th most searched word online among tweens and teens. This study included Singaporean children. So parents.....do you have internet nanny set up on your home computers yet? ;)

Thank you for leading us to the article from ST. Well, I personaly think the guide on the usage of technology is another important issue, as enjoying latest technology is moeny and time consuming. If the children spend longer hours on playing with technology, the time for study will be shorter. Even so, it's not the problem of technologies or children, it's time for parents and educators to take action.
