Pew Study: Teens and Social Media ~ Girls continue to dominate most elements of content creations
The Pew Internet & American Life Project just published a US study of Teens and Social Media
2 things fascinated me:
Girls continue to dominate most elements of content creations
About 35 percent of all online teen girls blog, compared with only 20 percent of boys. 54 percent of the girls online post photos, compared with 40 percent for boys. In fact, there is a subset of teens who are super-communicators -- teens who
have a host of technology options for dealing with family and friends,
including traditional landline phones, cell phones, texting, social
network sites, instant messaging, and email. They represent about 28%
of the entire teen population and they are more likely to be older
girls.
Super-communicators' daily interactions
On a daily basis, 70% of these super-communicators say they talk on the cell phone, 60
% send text messages , 54 % instant message, 46 % talk to friends on a
landline, 35 % see friends in person and 22 % send e-mail daily.
