Social Media & Mobile Internet Use Among Teens and Young Adults
3rd Feb 2010, The Pew Research Center

<quote>
Two Pew Internet Project surveys of teens and adults reveal a decline in
blogging among teens and young adults and a modest rise among adults 30
and older. Even as blogging declines among those under 30, wireless
connectivity continues to rise in this age group, as does social network
use. Teens ages 12-17 do not use Twitter in large numbers, though high
school-aged girls show the greatest enthusiasm for the application.
About the Survey

This report from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life
Project is a part of a series of reports undertaken by the Pew Research
Center that highlight the attitudes and behaviors of the Millennial
generation, a cohort we define here as adults ages 18 to 29. The Pew
Internet Project has conducted more than 100 surveys and written more than
200 reports on the topic of teen and adult internet use, all of which are
freely available on our website: www.pewinternet.org.  This report brings
together recent findings about internet and social media use among young
adults by situating it within comparable data for adolescents and adults
older than 30. All the most current data on teens is drawn from a survey
we conducted between June 26 and September 24, 2009 of 800 adolescents
between ages 12 and 17. Most of the adult data are drawn from a survey we
conducted between August 18 and September 14, 2009 of 2,253 adults (age 18
and over). At times, though, we draw from other adult surveys and we will
note where that occurs.
