Lenhart, Amanda. (2012). Teens and Online Video. Pew Research Center.http://www.pewinternet.org/files/old-media//Files/Reports/2012/PIP_Teens_and_online_video.pdf
Recently, video chatting has become popular among teens. 37% of internet user teens use a video chatting app with girls being more likely to use it than boys. 27% of internet user teens record and upload a video. I found these percentages to be a little on the low side. I would have expected them to be higher. With almost every teen out there with a smartphone, taking videos and uploading them to their social media network account seems like those numbers are wrong. Maybe teens are really thinking twice about what they are uploading for, practically, the whole world to see. It would be nice to see teachers and librarians teaching students about apps that are out there that can be safe for them to use when uploading their videos.
