Hello people, today we have our first bit of facts about teens use of social media ;).
A study from Amanda Lenhart from April 2009, shows that 93% of (American) teenagers, between 12-17, actually go online? 63% of those teenagers go online every day ...
From: PEW Internet & American Life Project.
Only 63?
ReplyDeleteI go online several times a day - go to facebook in every break at school, when I come home and before I go to bed, but I really dont think that is a problem - its a part of being young and we need to be available 24/7
To be honest, i was surprised myself!
DeleteMy habits are very similar to yours, I check Facebook all the time, I can't really stay away from it ( for better of for worse ).
It's a rather old statistic now, so I think that the percentage have gone up, by quite a bit.
Sometimes, I think it can be a problem that we always need to check these kinds of sites. But in most cases I agree with you, it's natural for us.
