The big commodity in there was the internet computers. I was surprised to find that, aside from Myspace, Facebook and gaming websites, the kids (mostly 12-15 year olds) really didn't do much with the internet, let alone any of the "web 2.0" stuff, like Twitter, Friendfeed, etc. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In my opinion, the teenagers use the internet a lot, but aren't necessarily very web-savvy. They don't seem to have very big attention spans; they just want to play games, chat and get on Myspace. Almost none of them knew what Twitter was when I mentioned it to them and they didn't really show much interest.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just looking at people's profiles on Twitter though, it does seem that its mostly used by adults, 21+. That's just a quick estimate though, I could be wrong.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">talkingtojoey</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:26:29 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
