How American teens navigate the new world of “digital citizenship”
The majority of teens actively manage their online profiles to keep the information they believe is most sensitive away from the unwanted gaze of strangers, parents and other adults.
More than half of internet users have taken virtual tours — nearly doubling the number who had done so in late 2004.
More than 6 million American adults have listened to podcasts.
The percentage of American adult Internet users who say they download music drops by half and the usage of some file-sharing applications declines.
This report analyzes the responses of more than 64,000 Americans to phone surveys in the past three years. It finds that 63% of U.S. adults now are online and many of them have built Internet use into their lives in practical ways.
The number of American adults downloading music continues to grow and two-thirds of those who download or share files say they don’t care whether the files are copyrighted or not.
