I have a Daughter in college and in my observations she generally socializes through text then social sites. I know she has her share of social site interaction but I think many younger people find these social sites more of a competition of creating interest then anything. Its become a obsession with some who think their lives are so important that they need to inform everyone. Its kind of a addiction to some this ideal they need to keep everyone up to date. But teens seem to be learning that having a open mic on your thoughts is not always a good thing. Censoring your thoughts can be a good thing. After a while the newness wears off and teens move on. My daughter is still a music listener but like many young people she rarely buys any music.
