Teens digital social media profile

a Pew study indicating most teens have a social media profile.

About 55% of all teens (12-17) have profiles. Teen girls (15-17) report that 70% of them have used social media. Same aged boys report in lower at 54%. Why do teens turn to social networking sites? The vast majority – 91% – say they do so to stay in contact with friends they also see frequently in the non-virtual world, while 82% say they use sites to stay in touch with people they don't see that often in person. Teens also go to the sites to make plans with friends (72%) and meet new friends (49%).

So if you grow up having a digital profile, what does that mean? How you find your friends, lovers, how do you protect your identity? Does this breakdown notions of national identity?

And we know there are many companies out there working on digital/mobile community initiatives.

I find it exciting others may want to hide under the duvet

同県亘理町荒浜地区にある阿武隈川沿いの堤防。近くに住んでいた男性（６０）は２階建て自宅の１階が浸水したが、流失は免れたため「住み慣れた土地を離れたくない」と修復を決意。昨年９月、建設業者に予約金１００万円を支払い、年末までに仮設住宅から自宅に戻れるはずだった。
