A surprising number of 'iPad Kids' are on X, study finds

  • I mostly use Signal and SMS for a few people. Facebook isn't worth it just for Marketplace. Online shopping isn't that important, let alone for second hand goods.

  • Yeah, I understand that too. Becoming the tech person for everyone isn't fun either.

  • I mean, you don't need Facebook to do any of those things you listed. People can still call, or text, or use a myriad of different messaging apps like Signal, Telegram, Viber etc.You don't need Facebook to find out about events or concerts and the like either.

  • I don't disagree. I'm just saying, it's still incredibly popular. I don't even have an account myself.

  • It's just not true in reality though. I see people from young teenagers to people in their twenties and thirties using Facebook. It's dominant amongst all age groups and the "Facebook is for old people" trope is a myth that needs to die out.

  • Bing's results are superior to Google these days ime. Has been for a good while too.

    • Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse.

  • You've gotta realise the average joe doesn't know how to do any of that stuff though. Even trying to explain it to most people is too much. The frustration I find is, most people don't actually want to learn, and they'd rather stay ignorant, and basically take pride in it.
