A 13-Year-Old's View on Social Media
- onion2k 11y agoInteresting, but not really useful. It is, quite literally, just one 13-year-old's view. You can't generalise from a single example, so you can't learn anything (besides what this specific 13-year-old likes) from this sort of article. Authors who plan to write one need to do one of three things; 1. A longitudinal study - track how your approach to social media changes over time. It still won't be useful but it might be interesting, especially if other people find their views correlate. 2. A bigger study - collaborate with other people to bring together views from a geographically, ethnically or otherwise diverse group. That would be useful. 3. A deep dive - Spend more time going in to some real depth about why you like particular networks, what you find useful/cool/rubbish about them. Again, that would be useful.
