David Weinberger has posted some tidbits from a recent presentation from six high school teenagers. The topic of the presentation was how they are using computers socially in the course of a day.

Some of the comments that did not surprise me at all:

• Text messaging costs too much to use.
• “My attention span is just too short for email. I need a rapid response.”
• A few have blogs.

Some other interesting comments:

• One has blacked out all the names of her friends and all of their content in the screen captures she shows us in order to protect their privacy.
• Blogging was big last year, but now it’s not. People got tired of commenting on their lives and sharing their lives.
• Q: Do you listen to podcasts? A: To what???
• They do not use different screennames for different groups of friends.
