Students Use The Internet
from the no,-really? dept
In a study that falls into the "well, duh!" category, the folks over at the Pew Internet and American Life Project have confirmed what most people already know: kids in college use the internet. Well, now that that's settled... While they do use it for schoolwork, they mostly use it to stay in touch via instant messaging and email. Overall, though, they say it has "enhanced" their academic experience and has even made it easier to communicate with professors.
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
