I really did not find any of the stats surprising. The articles all just said things that I basically already assumed. Adults from the ages 19-29 use social networking the most. Probably just because social networking became very popular with the generation. It also said that the ages 65+ are the ages that use social networking the least. I think mostly because it was never popular for this generation and that they never wanted to learn how to use everything, and that they grew up without having to use social networking.
One interesting fact I found from one of the articles was that Facebook users are more trusting then others. I don't understand how that is possible. Anther interesting fact I found was that for most online seniors the internet and social networking is a daily part of their lives. A final interesting fact I found was that people with less then high school diplomas use social networking more then people with college degrees. But then people with college degrees use social networking on their cell phones more then people with no high school diploma.
My siblings and myself use social networking all the time. It is basically our lives. One of us is always on one social network or another. My mom uses Facebook and that is it. And my grandparents have no idea what social networking is. It proves all the stats in all of the articles. The younger generation is obsessed with social networking, while the 65+ group know the bare minimum about social networking
