A report by Oxygen Media and Light Speed Research earlier this summer explored young women's use of Facebook, suggesting that we're on it too much, we're obsessed with it, that it takes priority over going to the toilet and we'd be injecting it directly into our eyeballs if only we could.

Aside from netbooks and iPads and smart phones that are sometimes more clever than the PCs we own – there is still something to be said for the desktop computer. You know, those things that are too heavy to carry around in your handbag and stay parked on your desk at all times?From gigantic towers to boxy screens, desktop PCs have lost their charm.

A couple of incidents have had me musing over my childhood and teenage years these last few days. Firstly, a wine night with my school mates resulted in some photo album reminiscing (why did we all dress like men in the 90's?!!), and then I bumped into a friend whose five year old was having her nails done and sparkly tattoos put on. ("We didn't have those in our day did we, we only had mud to play with in the ‘70s".)
