			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to a <a href="http://www.forrester.com/Research/Document/Excerpt/0,7211,54959,00.html">new report</a> from Forrester Research, young moms and dads are <a href="http://blogs.forrester.com/consumer_market_research/2009/09/forresters-annual-update-on-north-americans-technology-uptake.html">leading the charge</a> when it comes to adopting new technologies.</p>
<p>According to this report, PC penetration will reach its saturation point by 2013, though a growing number of households will continue to install home networks.</p>
<p>Interestingly, Forrester found that young families are the most enthusiastic consumers when it comes to adopting new technologies. They are more likely to own a Blu-ray player, for example, than any other group, including young singles. They are also more likely to own a game console (especially a Wii) or a mobile phone that can play music and videos.</p>
