Social media - it's a girl thing

A friend just alerted med to this soon-to-be-classic study on the internet habits of boys versus girls. Turns out that boys are more action oriented, whereas girls interact more. Or in other words, boys search for information and play games, whereas girls hang out on communities like facebook. Kompletely killed my enthusiastic argument about how the social media functions as a leveller between the sexes, enabling a more casual interaction. Interaction between girls that is. Still, the way the researchers interpreted the results was a bit simplistic. 523 youngsters participated in the study.
