In my own findings amongst college-age students, the "mom" factor didn't seem to be as prevalent as an attempt to avoid drama. One of my male students who recently turned 20, mentioned a complete disgust with the website because of his "friends' need for attention." He explained how after too many "look at me" type of posts, he went on a blocking rampage; I think we can all relate.

Another student of mine echoed this sentiment saying that Facebook is only good for a laugh, and if she wanted to see what people were "up to" she would just "check out their pictures [on Instagram]."

The Pew poll too found this same perception from teens. One of the highlights of the study found that "teens show that they have waning enthusiasm for Facebook, disliking the increasing adult presence, people sharing excessively, and stressful "drama," but they keep using it because participation is an important part of overall teenage socializing."

One of the things I like to ask my students after administering this project is, "So what's next?"

Will teens eventually jump the Facebook ship forever and is it Instagram that they will all go to? What happens when their parents sign up for Instagram accounts or their teachers start assigning homework over Twitter? Will teens move on to whatever is next? Teenagers are notoriously early adopters and want the latest and greatest, but will there be a point of backlash among this age group? Will the latest and greatest ever be picking up the phone, or to go really retro and start writing letters again?

I have a secret hope that all of this social-ness will come to a head, and the zombie/robot/apocalypse will actually just be a glorious paradigm shift away from social media. However, by that point we will be living in bunkers doing nothing but complaining about the lack of sunlight and "liking" our 5,040 friends' pictures of rehydrated soup and, of course, their feet.
