Kids these days are preferring to spend their time on social networking sites instead of surfing for naughty pictures on the internets. The research of author Bill Tancer who is the General Manager of global research at internet data and statistics company Hitwise has shown that:
Social networking sites are increasingly eclipsing pornography consumption over the ‘net — and underscoring a shift in how people communicate.
It really shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that Gen Y are more focused on using the social networks. This is the generation that grew up with unlimited access to copious amounts of adult image and video material they’re already tired and desensitised to the stuff. Plus I’m guessing they’re using Facebook and Myspace to satisfy their urges via hookups and dating in real life. Who’d a thunk it? Maybe I should try it some time. Nah. My avatar in Second Life gets plenty of action already.
