http://money.cnn.com/gallery/technology/social/2014/02/03/facebook-changes/index.html?iid=lead2



• Not as much privacy• Facebook population has changed –

people are moving to Twitter/Instagram• People share activity on internet

Summary


• Five young adults/adults using Facebook at a get-together

• Young adults/adults using any form of social media

Setting/Activity


My cousin Jared using his iPhone for social media


My friend Amanda using Facebook to check for updates/post statuses


They are on Twitter checking their updates


They also checked their Facebook updates afterward


He is sending a Tweet from his Galaxy watch


My mom using her phone to check for updates on Facebook


Ethnographic Research Observations

• I noticed that my cousin who is in 6th grade owns an iPhone, I didn’t own an iPhone until I was 16. (This shows that kids are getting addictions to social media at younger ages.)

• All of the adults that I asked don’t know how to navigate Twitter or Instagram, just Facebook

• Most of the Facebook population now consists of adults, not as many kids use Facebook as often anymore


• I noticed that out of all the social media apps, kids/young adults used Twitter the most

• I noticed that adults checked their Facebooks more than the kids did

• They all checked their updates the most when they were at home as opposed to being at another place
