    Teens Experiencing Facebook Fatigue

    [STUDY]

    Online gaming site Roiworld surveyed 600 teens ages 13 to 17 in late April and
    found that teens spend two hours per day online on average, 80% of which is
    spent using a social network. These same teens are, however, showing signs of
    “Facebook Fatigue.” Nearly one in five (19%) who have an account no longer
    visit Facebook or are using it less.

    Of the group that are saying goodbye to Facebook, 45% have lost interest, 16% are leaving because
    their parents are there, 14% say there are “too many adults/older people” and 13% are concerned
    about the privacy of their personal information.

    While interest in Facebook may be waning, it’s still the most popular social network among teens —
    O78% have created a profile and 69% still use it. YouTube ranks second; 64% of teens claim to have
    a YouTube profile and continue to use the site. MySpace comes in a distant third (41%) and Twitter
    takes the fourth spot (20%).

    The study also suggests that the teens that continue to stick to Facebook do so primarily to play
    games. Roiworld found that more than one-third of the teens who play games on Facebook admit to
    spending at least 50% of their time on the site immersed in gameplay. The online gaming trend
    extends far beyond Facebook, as 75% of surveyed teens claim to play games on the web.

    It seems obvious that the newest generation of online users would have few qualms about spending
    money online, and this study supports that theory. The research purports that 43% of teens using
    social sites have spent money within a social network. They’re purchasing items such as currency for
    virtual items (35%), music (33%), avatar accessories (30%) and points to level up (23%). Nearly half
    of this crowd (49%) indicate that they have an allowance for such expenditures.

    OPINIONS
    1. I disagree with this because I do not believe that young people only spend 2 hours per
    day, I think that they spend far more than two hours per day on the internet nowadays.
    Additionally to this, I think that I spend more than 2 hours when I am playing
    videogames.
    2. I agree with this because I know teens that only use Facebook to have access an online
    game. Additionally to this, I used Facebook to play games.
    3. In my opinion, Facebook is not the most popular social network for teens because it is
    used to make publicity. I don’t use Facebook because it’s bored.
    4. I think this part of the text is true because I have a Facebook account and I don’t use it. I
    prefer other apps or other social network to talk with my friends or only post pictures.
    5. I agree. Nowadays, the teens only want to play games and they are looking for a new
    games also for other apps that they can use for play or communicate better than
    Facebook.
    6. I think that nowadays the method of sell is online so, Therefore, I completely believe that
    teenagers who play online games on Facebook or whatever social network have a high
    possibility in spend money.
