This document summarizes research from a Pew Internet survey on teens' use of the internet and communication technologies. It finds that while many commonly held beliefs about teens and technology are exaggerated or untrue, social networking is increasingly popular among teens with 73% using sites like Facebook. However, not all teens have access, with digital divides still existing along socioeconomic lines. Overall, the report suggests teens' internet use is diverse and changing, with cell phones becoming a primary access point and content creation remaining steady but shifting platforms.
This June 2010 talk takes a "true or false" format that confirms, complicates or debunks conventional wisdom about teens and young adults and their use of cell phones, social media, their creation of content and attitudes towards online privacy.
