A new survey by Microsoft has uncovered what's described as a "shocking" reliance of Irish teenagers on technology.
One in four said they'd rather live to 60 and have access to the internet instead of living 20 years longer without it.
And 26 per cent say they'd rather run down the street naked than have the details of their online lives shared in public.
Microsoft Ireland's Patrick Ward says teenagers are telling them that they can't live without their gadgets.
