Teenagers: Absorbed in the Web
To be the first generation to watch the newly invented television could have been pretty interesting. However, it would not be that interesting anymore if you compare them with today's teen netizens. Teens of today are growing up with the web and they will soon lead the way…
Pew Internet & American Life Project report titled Teen Content Creators and Consumers says:
Fully half of all teens and 57% of teens who use the internet could be considered Content Creators. They have created a blog or webpage, posted original artwork, photography, stories or videos online or remixed online content into their own new creations… Teens are often much more enthusiastic authors and readers of blogs than their adult counterparts. Teen bloggers, led by older girls, are a major part of this tech-savvy cohort. Teen bloggers are more fervent internet users than non-bloggers and have more experience with almost every online activity in the survey.
Teens actively participate in the online scene. They listen to music, play, write blog entries, and search the Net. This is a good reminder to webmasters that a great percentage of Internet users are teens. Hence, creating contents and collaborating with them must be done vigilantly.
