Teens, cell phones, social media and privacy

Posted by gpc in Social Media

Earlier today a colleague sent out an email to illustrate how teens are using social media differently. A woman he knows (apparently in her teens) lost the numbers on her cell. Her solution for getting them back was to create a Facebook group asking her friends to post their numbers.

While 20 people have joined the group, only three have posted their numbers - just 15 percent. Is the issue concern with privacy? Apathy?

What do you think?

    The way teens view privacy seems to have changed over the years to the point that I would think this is a sign more of apathy and priority rather than concerns about privacy.
