According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds ha
12、d a drivers license. Today its six in ten. So its not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasnt rushing to get a license. All I wanted was an iPhone. Juliet Schor (Sociology professor at Boston College) knows people of my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have t
