I may simply be the last person on the planet to encounter this new word, but I was struck by its appropriateness when I came across it this morning:
screenager
I assume it's a play on teenager with the added dimension of reflecting just how much screen time the current generation gets (TV, Internet, video games, text messages). As I mentioned in my Math book, one study said that kids were averaging something like 7 hours a day in front of screens. This word may therefore be way more applicable than we'd like to admit.
