Teens Rely Heavily On TV For News,

Teens Rely Heavily On TV For News,
Rather Than The Internet 06/22/2004 06:02 AM
In a study that may surprise quite a few people, it turns out that teenagers still get most of their news from TV rather than from the internet. This remains the case, even though plenty of studies have shown that TV is having a harder time attracting viewers away from their computers. The other interesting aspect of the study is that, for all their rebelliousness and independence, the kids often get many of their views and opinions on the news from their parents -- though, the kids are upset that no adults like to listen to their views.

http:// www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/152/report_display.asp

The Pew Internet Project announces the release of its latest report on youth, Protecting Teens Online. More than half of American families with teenagers use filters to limit access to potentially harmful online content – a 65% increase from the number of those who used filters in 2000. But big majorities of both teens and parents believe that teens do things on the internet that their parents would not approve of. A new survey of 1,100 youth – those ages 12 to 17 – and 1,100 of their parents shows that 54% of internet-connected families now use some sort of internet filter or monitoring software, up from 41% of internet-connected families who used filters in 2000, the most recent time the Pew Internet & American Life Project surveyed on the issue. In all, about 19 million youth live in homes with internet connections and the number of children living in homes with filters has grown from 7 million in 2000 to 12 million today.

Yet Another Company Targeting PCs At
Teens

Yet Another Company Targeting PCs At
Teens 08/17/2004 05:02 PM
This is certainly not the first time a company has tried this (though, the article suggests otherwise), but a new computer is about to hit the market which is specifically targeted at teenagers -- both at the hardware and software level. The accessories and case are designed to be stylish, the hard drive is designed to hold a lot of music, and the software is designed to appeal to busy multi-tasking kids. It also has close integration with a mobile phone (if you happen to be a Sprint customer) and an MP3 player/digital storage keychain device. It looks like the company has at least done a bit more work than past attempts to try to create a more complete package, and they did obviously use a lot of teens in helping to design the system. However, marketing to teens is notoriously difficult -- and the fact that they're signing up teens as commission-based sales people may not go over too well with some. Besides, if the computer comes off as being even the slightest bit uncool (or targeted at kids too young or likely to become obsolete too quickly, etc.) the whole idea could die a quick death. Unfortunately, there are no pictures of the finished product (due out this fall), but the fact that it's a desktop machine may be problematic as well. These days, kids tend to identify themselves with their mobile phones, and the freedom that presents, and may be less interested in some desktop stuck back in their room and coated in fuzzy pink fur. Even if kids to prefer to stay in their room at home, having something that's portable is where the real bragging power comes in.

- books are for people that want to learn to do something without going through the long process of researching it themselves

- books are often for people that are patient enough to learn stuff from a book instead of tips they pickup randomly somewhere.

I don't think time is a problem for teens and I would think starting something at blogspot and trying it out would be their first attempt at blogging. And I don't typically think of teens as patient enough to read 200 pages before trying something. I hope this book sells well, but I can't possibly understand who the intended audience was supposed to be.

Do you have teens driving and do you not

Do you have teens driving and do you not
trust them! 07/27/2004 03:53 AM

I can only say that I am thankful that they did not have a blackbox that could have been installed in my vehicles as a 16 year old. My dad probably would have pulled my drives license the first week. I somehow survived that but it seems now parents can have a tracking device installed in their kids cars to make sure they are driving the speed limit and not doing some of the real dumb things many of us did that we where lucky to survive. (Yes Eric, I remember that pass on the right)

To be honest with my oldest child fast approaching driving age I cannot see doing this to her, after all the grades a fantastic and her head has not turned to mush. I will see what happens in the next 18 months but hopefully I will not have to resort to such extreme measures. [Engadget]

hip-e: Gadget System for Teens

hip-e: Gadget System for Teens 08/19/2004 09:44 AM

A company called "Digital Lifestyles" has a new product line out called "hip-e," which after you get done cringing over the name look fairly decent, but probably way overpriced to properly market to the teen segment. The whole concept revolves around the "node," a Pentium M-based iMac-esque desktop PC, with a 17-inch built-in widescreen LCD (1400 by 900 pixels). The node is an odd mixture of cut corners and nice options, such as 512MB of RAM standard - that's nice - but only "high performance video," which means it will probably not play videogames worth a damn (and that's before you factor in the 1.5GHz processor). So it's hard to decide what parent or self-sufficient kid is going to want to drop $1,700 on a neat but underpowered machine when they could probably get a couple of eMachines or something for the same price.

Clearly, though, Digital Lifestyles is hoping the cross-promotion of the Hip-e will push more units, and they're doing it in both interesting and annoying ways. The detachable "beatbox" that comes with the node PC also functions as external speakers for the "playme" 512MB flash drive ($150); that's a pretty cool trick. But the "Squads" idea, which looks to be some sort of viral advertising masked as teenage social networking looks really pathetic (although it's not out yet, so take that for what it's worth).

Marketing to teens is a fine idea, but the Hip-e may be trying a little too hard. Kids can sniff out focus groups' pawprints from a mile away. (Thanks, Mike!)
