Do You Think Teens Sext More Than Adults?
On this week's "To Sext or Not to Sext" episode of 90210 Naomi considers acting out her residual prom night frustration on Annie by blasting out an explicit MMS message of Annie as payback. (To be fair, Naomi thinks Annie slept with her boo). It's a dramatic and entertaining plotline, but further reinforced the overwhelming stats and tales of teens sexting at schools.
Be Honest: Have You Ever Sexted?
It's Wednesday, so you know what that means: somewhere Anna Faris and her fiance are sexting each other.
The actress admitted to the naughty tech act at the T-Mobile Sidekick LX launch party in LA last week. "Sexting" has been a media buzzword for the past couple years or so — mostly with people up in arms over teens sending each other the sexually charged text messages.
Would You Use a Website to Track Your Sex Life?
This geek may have known that gadgets in the bedroom might not do a sex life good, but she had no idea that there's a website that allows you to chronicle all of the dirty details of your sex life. I can officially say there's a website for everything, because with Bedpost, you can enter the date you had sex with someone, the time, how long it lasted, who it was with, you can include descriptive tags, and my fave — the star rating scale.
The site creators know that this info is as private as your financial data, so they swear it's kept confidential, secure, and can be deleted at anytime.
Does Violence or Sex in Video Games Bother You?
I love that nearly every night this week, Conan's done a different version of a PG-rated GTA IV, but I've also been thinking lately that not only are we at a high point of sex (Stripper Pole Wii, anyone?) and violence (got to give credit where credit's due, GTA, who's got both) in our video games, but there's also a healthy helping of family friendly and positive games — like Wii Sports.
My friends got into a heated debate the other night about the significance of violence in video games, and what it says about our society, but I definitely feel like it's your choice to buy the games. However, I really appreciate the ratings system, like in movies.
Would You Use the Internet For Sex Education?
Jamie Lynn Spears's pregnancy at 16 is being splashed across the internet and tabloids. It is being blamed on her upbringing and her sister's influence — but what about the sex education that American teens are failing to get in school and at home? Whether it's abstinence-only education that certain states are getting, or just an inability to effectively reach people, something's wrong if teen birth rates are up for the first time in 15 years (according to the CDC).
Women And Tech: Parodies And Realities
Women and technology is always a tender subject. Some women (and men) couldn't give a hoot about the newest downloads or gizmos, but the rest of us - specifically you readers - use technology everyday and have most of the same usage and buying habits as your male peers. We use technology to make our lives easier.
Dontcha Wish Your Cell Phone Was Hot Like Me?
You gotta admit it: Some gadgets are just hot. I'm talking sleek, sexy and oh so functional. Randi Jayne, who is responsible for the hilarious "Junk in a Box" parody "How To Get A Guy In Silicon Valley," sent over her latest and I think greatest creation to date.
Who Cares More About The iPhone: Men or Women?
I'm usually opposed to dividing the sexes when it comes to gadget talk, but while wandering the line at last week's iPhone launch I couldn't help but notice the crowd was lacking a strong feminine presence. In fact, I estimate that for every 30 men in line there was one woman. It's a phenomenon I can't easily explain without falling into an archaic and general stereotype that men care more about gadgets while women care more about shopping for say, shoes.
Would You Buy A Peripheral Made For Women?
Designers, manufacturers and brand managers seem to be in a constant flux about what it is that makes gadgets appealing to women. Sometimes they take the pretty in pink approach, splashing Pepto Bismol-color all over mice, laptops and MP3 players. Sometimes they ignore the fact that women have different wants and needs.
What Makes A Gadget Appealing To Women?
When I was a kid it was my father who would pick out the big ticket electronics for our house, primarily because my mother couldn't care less what size the TV was or the quality of the home's sound system. While I respect her choice to not care at all, her attitude toward technology and gadgets couldn't be more different than mine. And it makes me wonder if that's an attitude I picked up along the way because I always went to the electronics store with my dad or because technology is more geared toward women these days.
