Our nuclear programmes are completely transparent. But we are ready to show greater transparency and make clear for the whole world that the steps of the Islamic Republic of Iran are completely within international frameworks. The sanctions are unfair, the Iranian people are suffering, and our (nuclear) activities are legal. These sanctions are illegal and only benefit Israel.

'Young Millennials' less tech savvy than people in 20s

Younger American teens are starting to map their careers at 13 and sometimes opt for baking over texting, a new study has found.

The study by MTV said that the teens from 13-17 age groups dubbed "young" Millennials have absorbed advice from their Gen X parents, the New York Daily News reported.

MTV said in a statement that today's twenty-somethings - more akin to the magical wizard Harry Potter - represent the Millennials that came of age in the economic boom of the 90s/early 2000s, a time of 'Yes We Can' and the belief that working hard and playing hard could result in success in future.

The study involved 1,800 US teens ages 14-17, 700 "older Millennials" aged 18-25, 300 Gen Xers, and 300 Boomers.

Unlike tech savvy twenty-somethings, 80 percent young Millennials agree that sometimes they need to unplug and enjoy the simple things.

Rather than multi-task, 82 percent prefer to focus on one task at a time when they feel stressed or overwhelmed, and more than 50 percent said that they like to take a break from technology and make things with their hands.

They have also slimmed down their social networks and finding niche/private places to share in a controlled environment, like Snapchat or a locked Instagram feed. (ANI)
