Three-in-four teens have social network profile

Canada’s teenagers are dramatically outpacing their parents when it comes to developing and managing a social network profile, a new Ipsos-Reid study has discovered.

It found that in the 18 months since a similar survey was conducted, the proportion of “online teens” with a social network profile had jumped from 50 per cent to 76 per cent. The proportion of “online adults” also increased over that same period, but at a much lower pace, rising from 39 per cent to just 56 per cent.

Non-reality programming contained only 33 such incidents per hour. Coyne concludes, ‘[Programming is] producing this culture of being mean to each other,’ Coyne said. ‘We're setting up our culture to being overreactive.’ (The study was published in June's Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media.)”
