Two Pew Internet Project surveys of teens and adults reveal a decline  
in blogging among teens and young adults and a modest rise among  
adults 30 and older. Even as blogging declines among those under 30,  
wireless connectivity continues to rise in this age group, as does  
social network use. Teens ages 12-17 do not use Twitter in large  
numbers, though high school-aged girls show the greatest enthusiasm  
for the application.

This report from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life  
Project is a part of a series of reports undertaken by the Pew  
Research Center that highlight the attitudes and behaviors of the  
Millennial generation, a cohort we define here as adults ages 18 to  
29. The Pew Internet Project has conducted more than 100 surveys and  
written more than 200 reports on the topic of teen and adult internet  
use, all of which are freely available on our website: www.pewinternet.org 
.  This report brings together recent findings about internet and  
social media use among young adults by situating it within comparable  
data for adolescents and adults older than 30. All the most current  
data on teens is drawn from a survey we conducted between June 26 and  
September 24, 2009 of 800 adolescents between ages 12 and 17. Most of  
the adult data are drawn from a survey we conducted between August 18  
and September 14, 2009 of 2,253 adults (age 18 and over). At times,  
though, we draw from other adult surveys and we will note where that  
occurs.
