- Commonly held beliefs about how teens and adults use the internet – but are they true? False? Or somewhere in between?
- Mostly true, except Afterworkers & very poor
- Not quite – three quarters do, but one quarter don’t. Some share.
- For the top 30+%, yes. But note the 1/5 th of teens who don’t text much. Teens aren’t monolithic.
- They do, and they call pretty much just like adults, at least in NUMBER of calls. Don’t know duration.
- True.

- Not true.
- Nope!
- They’re less concerned, but more likely to take action to protect information.
- 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.
- They used to – but do it less now.
