Young people, sometimes grudgingly, adjust to sharing technological ...
It has truly become an extension of who I am and who my family will likely be," says Frownfelter, who works at a community college.
Still, in today's world, parents are finding that the urge to stake out technological turf is starting at a very young age.
Jennifer Abelson, a mom in New York, says her 2-year-old daughter asks every day if she can play on the "'puter" on such kid-oriented sites as Noggin.com and Nickjr.com.
"She's constantly telling us 'I will do it!' and 'Go away!' if we try to interfere with her 'working,"' Abelson says.
"It's pretty amazing to see technology ingrained at such a young age. But I know she's learned so much from being able to use technology on her own."

Extra! UIdaho Student Found Shot to Death
With the recent resurface of the URD/LCDC topic, I am making an attempt at something a little more light hearted. In the past three weeks, I took the advice of a good friend and submerged myself into the drama "24". I had avoided doing so because I had heard getting into the show required great dedication and frankly, I didn't think i had the time. I have since purchased the first three seasons, having watched the first two seasons in less than two weeks time. I am half way through the 3rd season and not looking back. My question for the forum: do you watch this show? Do you find it as thrilling, exciting and thought provoking as I do? Jack Bauer for president '08? I really need to know if I am alone with this as my sleep pattern has been significantly altered since becoming a "24 freak"?! Also, I figured this show may be popular with the HBO crowd so advice from you regulars is much appreciated! JimmyMAC .
