the study found that teens spend an average of 11 hours each week in an online environment. Their favorite online activities? Instant messaging, social networking, listening to music and shopping.
The study finds that 58% of teens have purchased a product online but that more than three-quarters of teens prefer to shop in-store. The study also found that 54% of teens use instant messaging but that 46% prefer talking to friends over the phone.
Rather than preferring the online world in total, teens are adapting to the online world but still prefer real world pursuits and in-person activities.
