The Real Generation Gap: How Adults and Teens Use Social Media Differently

There is no magic bullet when it comes to connecting with your customers online, but understanding their social media habits is a good place to start. According to a recent study from the Pew Research Center, 81 percent of teens and 72 percent of adults are active on social media. While that's a sizeable audience, the two age groups use each network differently.

Their research found that both groups use Facebook the most -- 94 percent of teens and 67 percent of adults. However, adults are Pinning and Instagramming more while teens are more active on Twitter.

Questions;

1. Which social media do people use the most in your country? Are there any differences between adults and teens?

2. Do you think adults and teens are using the same social media in the same way? If No, what's the difference?

3. When you get a job, if your boss or your customers ask for your social media address, can you tell it to them?

4. Is the social media necessary for adults or teens?

5. What do you think about adults or teens communicate with their friends or coworkers through a social media?

6. How often do you use social media? Do you ever feel guilty for wasting time?

7. Have you quit using or reduced the time you use any social media?

8. Have you ever experienced any trouble because of social media?
