Infographic: How Android Is Taking Over. Young Social Mediaphiles: 36% Tweet and Check Facebook After Sex. Are people under the age of 35 addicted to social media? Retrevo.com set out to answer that question with their latest Gadgetology Report. 771 online panelists were surveyed on their social media and texting behaviors, and separated into two distinct categories: people under 35, and people over 35.
Behavioral disparities were apparent by age, with survey data from online interviews showing that under 35 year-olds check Facebook more frequently, with 27% checking in more than 10 times per day. The younger crowd is also quite keen on tweeting, texting, and checking Facebook after sex (36%), while driving (40%), while at work (64%), and when on vacation (65%).While the Retrevo blog post is short on survey methodology, the results are quite interesting, and even align somewhat with a previous study showing that we like to tweet from strange and inappropriate places, like in a car and from a toilet.
