This month's feature story is about today's generation, we call the "Tweet Generation".

Today's teens are using technology as part of their daily lives throughout their day, and in doing so, don't truly realize the effects in which they are causing.

Then came hand held games , and of course today is our cell phones, which wasn't about making the calls but about their texting. The author of the article who's daughter is 11 years old actually sent out over 11,0000 texts in a month.

Kids from 9 to early adulthood, engaging in such activities, have created that Forward Head Posture profile.
