One-Third Of Teens Plan To Buy An iPhone Soon
Looking at the same data, I was initially surprised to note that more teens reported having access to tablet (22%) than own an iPhone (17%). However, looking at the way it is worded and considering the nature of phones and tablets, the percentages make more sense.
iPhone: The question asks if the teen owns an iPhone. Phones are personal devices and have a one-to-one relationship with the owner. The iPhone, like other smartphones, has a $80 per month ($960 per year) fee paid by either a parent or the teen. This is a relatively large financial commitment.
Tablet: The question asked is different than the one asked about the iPhone. The question is if the teen owns one or has access to one in the house. Tablets can have a more communal use than a phone. Like the desktop computer, it is easy to imagine a tablet being passed from one person to the next in a family environment.
The response to the question of if the teen plans to buy an iPhone in the next six months is questionable. It is difficult to imagine that the 37% who responded yes will actually be able to execute on that plan and increase the percentage of teens owning an iPhone from 17% to 54% (17 + 37).
Friend: it’s a term flung around loosely in this day and age, especially among teenagers. It is used to desccribe the people on Facebook, even though some of them we don’t even talk to in real life. Are we using this word too flippantly?
It’s one of the reasons why the social networking craze has reached mega proportions, modern teenagers would be lost without it and it is arguably the most beloved pastime of today’s youth. It, my friends, is online stalking.
Social networking has taken over the world in a way that nobody could have possibly predicted, but if the majority of teenagers resort to talking about talking, even if it is online communication, something’s gone seriously wrong. Is this really what the world has come to?
In a society that is driven by gadgets, money and social networking sites, it is no wonder that Facebook has become a part of everyday life. But using these sites to date over the internet? Is that really what the world has come to?
Facebook has become a part of everyday life, especially for teenagers, and can be a great form of communication. But are young people spending too much time on the social networking program if they can’t even spend Christmas Day without it?
