I've been saying it for several years now, and this IPSOS study agrees with me. Teens are online less than adults, are not necessarily early adopters of everything tech, and are not very confident in using technology.

I don't know how many classes I've given where nobody in the room knows what a "blog" or "wiki" is. They know iTunes, facebook, mySpace, wikipedia, youtube, bittorrent, but little else. Many can't install software, customize security settings on a web browser, or even find files stored somewhere on their laptop. I am happy to see they are into Goole apps quickly.

Like I keep saying, the future is the same as the past, on average everyone's the same, while some are really behind and there are always some gurus in the room.

Great piece!

Thanks Stephen.

"Last week, the search giant began a public experiment in which users can make their search results look a little different from the rest of the world's. Those who sign up are able to switch between different views, so instead of simply getting a list of links (and sometimes pictures and YouTube videos, a relatively recent addition to the Google results), they can choose to see their results mapped, put on a timeline, or narrowed down by informational filters."
