This document provides a summary of Kristen Purcell's presentation on teens and technology in 2012. Some key points:
- Teen internet and cell phone use remains high but has leveled off in recent years while increasing for older age groups. Fewer teens talk daily on cell phones but texting volume has increased.
- Most teens access the internet on a desktop/laptop rather than a cell phone. Location-based services are used by only 6% of teens overall.
- Differences exist among teen subgroups - older teens, those from higher income households, and Hispanic teens have higher rates of cell phone ownership and use.
Teen culture today is not that different from previous generations as teens are still more interested in friends than parents and want control over those with power over them. While teens still gossip, hang out and flirt, the main change is technology as teens now use different technologies like Slideshare compared to past generations.
At the 29th Annual ACT Enrollment Planners Conference, Director Lee Rainie will highlight 13 things everyone should know about how today's teens use technology. With data from the Pew Research Internet Project's national surveys of teens and parents, Lee will highlight some critical ways digital tools are changing not only how teens communicate, but also how they gather information about the world and present themselves to others.
This document presents an English project by a group of 6 Albanian students on the topic of teenagers. The objectives are to get information on teenagers before and now, learn about their lifestyles, and show the problems and risks of being a teenager. Some of the sections that will be covered include teenagers in the 1950s and how their lives have changed from before and after that time period. It also notes that today's teen culture is not that different from the past and discusses aspects of teenagers' lifestyles, interests in friends over parents, desire for control and independence, importance of sleep, and impact of technology and the internet.
