"How do [they] even do that? A Pew Internet guide to teens, young adults, mobile phones and social media

Editor's Notes

  1. Commonly held beliefs about how teens and adults use the internet – but are they true? False? Or somewhere in between?
  2. Mostly true, except Afterworkers & very poor
  3. Not quite – three quarters do, but one quarter don’t. Some share.
  4. For the top 30+%, yes. But note the 1/5 th of teens who don’t text much. Teens aren’t monolithic.
  5. They do, and they call pretty much just like adults, at least in NUMBER of calls. Don’t know duration.
  6. True.
  7. Not true.
  8. Nope!
  9. They’re less concerned, but more likely to take action to protect information.
  10. Works both ways – concerned about privacy, know that you are looking at them, evaluating them, but they are also doing the same to you. If you don’t have a strong web presence… two way street.
  11. They used to – but do it less now.
