Former teen here. When I was a teen, we used MySpace and slowly transitioned to facebook. So why did I spend so much time on it despite basically adding only people I saw at school?
- you don't see people every day at school. or if you do, your time is limited with them
- texting gets you so far but facebook is not a direct communication channel anyways, never was. It's a "let me tell everyone something!" type of thing. MySpace was the same thing
- FB/MySpace let you post pictures. Sending pics is still cumbersome and you can't just "blast it". Instagram, obviously, is better at that and definitely my new app of choice (and SnapChat too but Snapchat has less of my friends on it).
Idk, just some thoughts.
- nly 12y agoIf MySpace was still relevant when you were a teen, and you transitioned to Facebook, then it sounds like you were just using the best tools available. Nowadays there is more out there for teens, so I'm not sure how your (or my) experience really helps in cracking this nut.
