15. My interpretation: 5% of 15 to 19 year olds have over 50 ”virtual friends.” Almost every one (73%) from the same age group have virtual friends. Different comprehensions of friends enable various circles of friends to generate and break down as easily.
16. Notions: Surprisingly many unemployed have met their virtual friends in real life. There are not big differences between 15-19 and 25-29 year olds when it comes to how many virtual friends they have met irl.
17. My interpretation: Participation is not necessarily content creation. Majority of the youngster participate in enriching the content by ranking and rating images, videos, books, movies as well as commenting blogs and news.
