Half the teens are content creators
I was reading the latest Pew/Internet report on Teen Content Creators and Consumers (here for press release – here for report in pdf). The report focused on 12-17 and found out that:
- 87% of those teens use the internet
- 57% of online teens create content for the internet
- 33% share their own creations online, such as artwork, photos, stories or videos
- 19% blog or maintain some personal online journal, 38% read them – 22% have personal web pages
- 19% remix content
Remixing is a fascinating phenomenon – but every time I think about commercial applications for remixing, I bump into the IP limitations of what’s possible. (or perhaps I just run into my personal limitations in terms of subject-matter knowledge).
