Teens Are More Efficient Web Surfers
from the it's-teen-day-here-at-techdirt dept
Apparently, today's the day we post stories about teenagers. A new study has come out showing that a much higher percentage of teenagers use the web than adults. However, the "surprising" finding is that adults spend a lot more time online than kids do. The article says this suggests that teens find what they want and get off line, while adults wander aimlessly. While this might be true, I think it might have to do with... well, school. It doesn't say if the study only focused on home use, so this is a guess, but I would say that adults access the internet from work as well - while kids mostly only access it from home, when they have less extra time to surf. That's my explanation, anyway.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
