DIGITAL DIVIDE
SOCIAL MEDIA
STATS
The share of teens who use Facebook, $META, “has dropped from 71% in 2014-2015 to 33% today,” per PEW.
Meanwhile, the share of teens who say they use Facebook, a dominant social media platform among teens in the Center’s 2014-15 survey, has plummeted from 71% then to 32% today.
YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook. Fully 35% of teens say they are using at least one of them “almost constantly.”
About six-in-ten teens ages 15 to 17 (58%) say giving up social media would be at least somewhat difficult to do. A smaller share of 13- to 14-year-olds (48%) think this would be difficult.
The vast majority of teens have access to digital devices, such as smartphones (95%), desktop or laptop computers (90%) and gaming consoles (80%). And the study shows there has been an uptick in daily teen internet users, from 92% in 2014-15 to 97% today. In addition, the share of teens who say they are online almost constantly has roughly doubled since 2014-15 (46% now and 24% then).
These gaps in teen computer and gaming console access are consistent with digital divides by household income the Center has observed in previous teen surveys.

PEOPLE AND BUSINESS WORKING ON THE DIGITAL AND GENDER DIVIDE
“Americans with Disabilities Act of Cyberspace.” “For disabled college students, professors’ increased use of the Web for instruction can create obstacles rather than clear them away. Many disabled students find that new technology cuts them off from the learning process. To prevent that, colleges are — among other things — designing Web sites and buying computer workstations that meet the needs of disabled students.” In “Making Web Sites Work for People With Disabilities” (by Andrea L. Foster, THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION,February 2, 2001, p. A30) read how colleges and universities are coping with the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
DIGITAL DIVIDE
2013 The digital divide isn’t about “access” to computers anymore, but instead about using computers for productivity, employment, education, and enrichment. There is a gender gap in tech and the new skills-based digital divide.
