Abstract

Assuming that, given the processes of technology diffusion, adolescent behavior forecasts future consumption of digital information, it would seem pertinent to study the characteristics of teenager technology use. This research asks: What are the key patterns regarding the use of technology platforms by teenagers? Is technology usage among teenagers shaped by schools' disparate teaching philosophies and cultures? How is technology usage impacting the consumption of traditional print media? A survey designed to determine how high school students use technology was administered at a private boarding school in New Hampshire and a public school in New York. The research concluded that individuals' residing environment and context shape ICT adoption. School culture and geographic context drive behavioral technology usage patterns. Furthermore, consumption of information appears to be guided by a principle of complementarity. However, technology substitution should not be discarded. Finally, school culture incorporating and promoting technology use may contribute positively to knowledge acquisition, although technology adoption without controls could negatively impact the teaching experience. While directionally valid, the study results need to be validated by statistical research and case studies.

1
The survey is included in the appendix of a working paper that can be downloaded from http://​citi.​columbia.​edu.
 
2
“Stalking” is a term used to describe the action of visiting the profile of a Facebook friend who does not belong in the user’s close social circle.
 
3
Only high school students from ICE were recorded and analyzed for the purpose of the study, however the demographics represent the school as a whole.
 
4
See Tables 17, 18, and 19 in appendix.
 
5
Frequency and allocation of time changes, as expected, during weekends only for the technologies where data was captured (see Table 12 in appendix). Total exposure to television and PC jumps on weekends, as expected. However, ICE students watch more than twice the amount of television than St. Paul’s students do, and marginally use their computers more. Girls at ICE tend to watch more television than boys on weekends.
 
6
See Table 20 in appendix or technology usage on week-ends.
 
7
Lampe (2009) found in his research of Facebook behavior among college students that the average total number of “friends” had increased from 338 in 2006 to 441 in 2008.
 
8
Lampe also determined that 79 % of college students spend 15 min per day on Facebook, while 9 % spend over 2 h
 
9
We consider the 27 responses stating more than 160 min as being misinterpreted answers, which based the estimate as time the platform was open on the screen although the user was not necessarily interacting with it.
