The Pew Research Center has published a survey titled “Teens,Social Media & Technology”. In it you will find statistic after statistic describing the technology that the teens of today use to communicate with each other and entertain themselves.
The remarkable thing about all of these statistics is that they are describing
activities that were impossible for the teens of just a few tears ago to carry
out. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. did not exist until after
every teenager alive today was born. Even the idea that teens could spend any
time online is relatively new. As late as 1997 only 18% of US households
reported accessing the internet. Social Media doesn’t really exist until the 21st
century. What does it all mean? What will change? My guess is everything.
