Can’t we just talk?Can’t we just talk?
Face-to-face contact still matters• Across the spectrum, the communication activity
that changes the least is the frequency of face-to-face encounters
• 31% of all teens have this kind of interaction with friends every day outside of school; 34% of cell phone owners do so
• 35% of multi-channel teens have such encounters
• 38% of social network site users have in-person meetings with friends every day.

Email is only for ‘our’ generationEmail is only for
‘our’ generation
• According to focus group findings, email is falling into disfavor because teens have so many other options that allow immediate contact when they are away from computers, and because when they are on computers there are particular features of instant messaging and social network sites that make them more appealing ways to communicate. Said one high-school-aged girl, “Email is becoming obsolete. MySpace is so much quicker. It’s like text messaging on your phone. You can send pictures.”
• Just 14% of all teens report sending emails to their friends every day, making it the least popular form of daily social communication. Younger online girls are the exception; 22% of girls ages 12-14 email friends daily, compared with 11% of younger boys and 13% of older teens. When compared with the number of teens who report talking to their friends every day by instant message (28%) and with a cell phone (35%), the amount of daily email use is small.

Why do a growing number of educators like Web 2.0 in the first place? But I want to know something else as well - what don’t we like about Web 2.0, and is there anything we can do about it?
