Hewlett Packard recently commissioned a study from Wakefield Research looking into some of the major concerns for parents of today's tech-minded kids. This study - and the fact that the back-to-school season is now upon us - was the inspiration for another Microsoft-HP #WinChat this past Tuesday. The survey group included kids ranging from ages 6 to 17.  The results can be found on the HP Website.
