What's the current High-tech "gadget"?

Kids these days are all into their phones and their iPods. With phones, texting is the big deal. There's also a trend lately for kids to do what's called "sexting," where they send sexually suggestive text and images of themselves to other kids (this is usually between 2 kids who are "going together" or between friends for a laugh.

And, just texting can be addictive to them. A couple years ago, when my daughter started college, she didn't realize that she didn't have an unlimited texting account and that additional texts beyond 500 a month were charged 10 cents each (incoming and outgoing). She ended up making and receiving over 2000 text messages her first month and ran up a $180 phone bill. That's almost 70 text messages a day, with most of them being completely inane (like "What's up?" "Nothing" "What about U?" etc.).
