YouTube is a very popular website where people can watch videos from all over the world. A huge number of people use it - more than two billion every month! A survey in the United States found something amazing: around 85% of teens aged 13-17 use YouTube.
Because it has videos on almost any topics, YouTube is a fantastic place for both learning and entertainment. For example, teenagers can learn to play a musical instrument or try a new science experiment by following video guides. This makes learning new skills very exciting. It is also a place for young people to be creative. They can share videos of their hobbies, like skateboarding tricks or painting tutorials. If they are passionate about a topic, they can start their own channel! Even though YouTube is a wonderful tool, it's important to use it safely. Not all videos are made for young people, so parents can help their children find good channels to watch.

So, it is important for them to balance their screen time with other activities.

E-readers are electronic devices that allow people to read books digitally. The first e-reader, known as the Rocket eBook, was developed by NuvoMedia and introduced in 1998. However, the more well-known e-reader, the Amazon Kindle, was launched by Amazon in 2007. It sold over 90 million units as of 2020.
E-readers look like small tablets, but they have special screens called e-ink screens. These screens make reading easy on the eyes, just like reading from paper. E-readers are lightweight and portable, as each device weighs around 200-300 grams.
One of the main features of e-readers is that they can hold thousands of books. For example, the latest Kindle model can store up to 32 GB of data, so it allows users to save approximately 20,000 e-books. It also lets users change the text size and brightness, which makes reading comfortable for everyone. Many e-readers have built-in dictionaries, so readers can look up words quickly.
Today, e-readers are very popular in the market. In 2021, the global e-reader market size was valued at around $15 billion, and it is expected to grow in the coming years.
NuvoMedia introduced the first e-reader called Rocket eBook in the 1990s.
