Hello all, Here is a nice study done by the people at the Pew organization on teens and their use of social media. It looks at the different forms of communication used by teens in the US.
The main findings from the study are (and I am quoting directly from the study): "The use of social media - from blogging to online social networking to creation of all kinds of digital material - is central to many teenagers' lives. Girls continue to lead the charge as the teen blogosphere grows; 28% of online teens have created a blog, up from 19% in 2004. The growth in blogs tracks with the growth in teens' use of social networking sites, but they do not completely overlap. Online boys are avid users of video-sharing websites such as YouTube, and boys are more likely than girls to upload. Digital images - stills and videos - have a big role in teen life. Posting images and video often starts a virtual conversation. Most teens receive some feedback on the content they post online. Most teens restrict access to their posted photos and videos - at least some of the time. Adults restrict access to the same content less often. In the midst of the digital media mix, the landline is still a lifeline for teen social life. Multi-channel teens layer each new communications opportunity on top of pre-existing channels. Email continues to lose its luster among teens as texting, instant messaging, and social networking sites facilitate more frequent contact with friends." http://www.pewinternet.org/pdfs/PIP_Teens_Social_Media_Final.pdf --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mobile-society" group.
