The following is a copy of a report written by Matthew Robson, a 15-year old schoolboy, for Morgan Stanley on how he and his friends consume media.

Internet
Every teenager has some access to the internet, be it at school or home. Home use is mainly used for fun (such as social networking) whilst school (or library) use is for work. Most teenagers are heavily active on a combination of social networking sites. Facebook is the most common, with nearly everyone with an internet connection registered and visiting >4 times a week. Facebook is popular as one can interact with friends on a wide scale.
On the other hand, teenagers do not use twitter. Most have signed up to the service, but then just leave it as they release that they are not going to update it (mostly because texting twitter uses up credit, and they would rather text friends with that credit). In addition, they realise that no one is viewing their profile, so their ‘tweets’ are pointless. Outside of social networking, the internet is used primarily as a source of information for a variety of topics.

“Teenager causes City sensation with research on media”

Boy, those Brits are easily impressed by the obvious.
Matthew Robson did an outstanding job researching and putting this together.
No Sh@t? Hell, I thought that most children live in poverty, no water, no food......now this 15 year old has enlightened me. Thank god for accurate reporting......
teenagers are whole lot smarter than people give ‘em credit for.
Yes, my entire life hinges on what a 15 year old in a foreign country, with Internet access, thinks. Troll elsewhere.
No, Algore saved them with his earth shattering invention.

Screaming Fist got what he gave. No harm no foul.
Is that a flame? LOL! Please, keep it up. I don't normally debate with children in high school, but I will make an exception for you......
Make an exception for me too.
Your initial response was a rude punch.

I’m not a mod. I’m a rocker.
Yes, it was. I assume if I tell you to GFY you are cool with it......like you said.......you're a rocker.
You want me to be your girlfriend? Isn’t that what it means? Sorry, charlie. I don’t swing that way.
Yes, I’m trolling on FR......for men. Just admit you were wrong and let’s carry on.......
Well, old dinosaurs can’t dance very well. I was right, but I’m not up for a fight with you. Unless ... are you a navy fighter pilot?
