This article outlines how teens are relatively similar to adults, when it comes to media statistics, and how they use the internet even less then the average adult. Although there are many myths that view teens as different complete entities from the rest of the world, they are just as much humans as the rest of us are. Teens have the same general interest as adults; American Idol is the most popular tv show among teens, as well as adults. Although this research has plenty validation and research of it’s own to back it up, some of the research seems to miss what we are looking at. Yes, the average teen may use the internet less then the average adult, but teens to young adults make up the majority of the population that use social media sites such as facebook and twitter. We are looking at the validity of social pressures on people, and younger people take more actions to do something about these pressures then older people. || Deductive

It touches on the "need to belong" which is a fundamental human motivation. Social networking sites create a place for us to "belong" and communicate with each other, which is part of the reason why they are so popular. The article also speaks about Social networking sites. They are very interesting in that they rely solely on users creating content and viewing other peoples content. When you are not on a social networking site you will not be viewed as part of the collective.
