'"Teenagers may be among the most voracious users of cell phone text and instant messaging in the country, but most still prefer landline phones to communicate with friends, according to a new study.
That was one of a number of curious findings from a survey of 1,100 U.S. teens ages 12 to 17 and their parents conducted last year by the Pew Internet & American Life Project. The group released a report on the survey on Wednesday.
"I think there is this real myth of teenagers becoming socially isolated" online, said Amanda Lenhart, researcher and co-author of the report. "We have some findings that suggest that teen Internet users are more connected. They spend more time face-to-face than non-Internet users. They seem to have more friends and spend more time with them. The Internet is not necessarily taking people away from their social lives."
Many news sites move articles into data bases after a period of time and then offer them for sale, in the process changing the URLs that link to them. Or they require registration. Thus, we provide a link to the front page of the news website and the information necessary to find the story on that site, rather than a direct link to the article.
