Answer
A screenager is a teenager who spends the majority of their time in front of a screen.
They listen to music on a digital MP3, communicate with their friends through email or mobile phone, read online and do their homework with the help of the Internet.
Because the teenagers' addiction to technology is affecting their health and behaviour and they need to learn to keep a balance between the real and virtual world in order to understand that gadgets and technology are useful and fun but they should not let them rule their lives.
