Are You Smarter Than a Teenager? December 20, 2007

According to the results of the latest Pew Internet survey, teens are actually practicing some measure of safety online. At least when it comes to personal information on social networking sites and posting photos. When they post videos, fewer restrict access. Turns out adults are less likely to protect their information. Looks like teens are better practitioners of safe behavior online than their adult counterparts.
Some 66% of teens with social network profiles restrict access to their profiles in some way and 77% of teens who upload photos restrict access to them at least “some of the time.” In contrast, 58% of adults who post photos restrict access to them in some way. A smaller percentage of teens who upload videos (54%) restrict access to them.
