Grudgingly Young People Flock To Twitter
Is seems counterintuitive but, young people are not automatically attracted to Twitter. The average age of a Twitter user is 31. This statistic may be changing with time, but Twitter appears to be an example of an Internet application that skipped a generation and was adopted first by an older group.
They think it's pointless, narcissistic. Some don't even know what it is.Even so, more young adults and teens - normally at the cutting edge of technology - are finally coming around to Twitter, using it for class or work, monitoring the minutiae of celebrities' lives.
It's not always love at first tweet, though. Many of them are doing it grudgingly, perhaps because a friend pressures them or a teacher or boss makes them try the 140-character microblogging site.
