The use of social media gains a greater foothold in teen life as they embrace the conversational nature of interactive online media.
The use of social media – from blogging to online social networking to creation of all kinds of digital material – is central to many teenagers’ lives.
Some 93% of teens use the internet, and more of them than ever are treating it as a venue for social interaction – a place where they can share creations, tell stories, and interact with others.
The Pew Internet & American Life Project has found that 64% of online teens ages 12-17 have participated in one or more among a wide range of content-creating activities on the internet, up from 57% of online teens in a similar survey at the end of 2004.
