This presentation was very informative from a numbers stand point. It gave lots of percentages of what networks teens are using, and it even broke down into percentages of the different races and how they used their phones. The presentation overall was very dry. However, it did illustrate the massive change that technology has been through over the last 14 years. It showed that social networks are the priority with teens. It also showed that most teens are trying to be responsible while using those social networks. Surprisingly, the survey that was done showed teens at 17 years old being the most responsible with information that is being loaded on to social networks. From the presentation we learn that teens are all over Facebook. However, Twitter numbers are drastically rising, and Tumblr is on the rise. This presentation was given in 2012. I believe that Facebook has become somewhat stagnant for teens. I find more teens and preteens asking to be my friend on Twitter and Instagram. Having just signed-up for Tumblr, I am sure I will get those requests soon. Today more teens are texting and instant messaging, than talking on phones. Most teens are not even using email anymore, because of the social network boom or society is in. Again, this presentation was a little dry for me with all the numbers. However, I did learn several different things that I found interesting. Since this presentation was given in 2012, and the surveys had to be completed before that, I think some of the information is a little misleading. I would like to see these surveys completed again to see how things have changed just in the last few years. It seems like technology continues to grow at an alarmingly rapid pace.
