Why are there so many kids on the internet   much more than adults?

because kids are younger and they've learned less, as we get older we know certain ways to do things and its harder to re-learn to do them new ways than to keep doing them our old way, even if the new one is faster. kids are learning these things for the first time so they pick it up faster because they've got more space to put it and no previous experiences. thats why you must walk grandmothers thru even the easiest web-forms even tho they're designed for idiots. in short: adults dont usually like bothering learning new ways to do old things. besides, they know more stuff anyway, and have their lives in places besides home, who needs the internet?

My view is that the internet is opening more avenues of communication to teenagers and people with poor education, and both groups (with some exceptions) tend to spell poorly. \n\nIt's not that anyone's grammar is getting worse, but rather that we're being exposed more and more to the already existing bad grammar.

I think it's the people on myspace or something. They are like taking over the damn universe.\n\nAfte ra while of using the internet, people with blogs and websites have sort of set up some rules that we all must abide by or something. \n\nSometimes it's just pure common sense.\nHowever, we know that not everyone uses it all the time. \n\nDepends really.

IT SEEMS THAT ANYONE WHO SPENDS ALL DAY ON LINE NEEDS TO GET A LIFE.ON THE OTHER HAND THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, ARE SAVED FROM A LONELY LIFE BY GOING ON LINE. I 'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE ONES WHO PREY ON YOUNG CHILDREN. I HOPE THERE IS A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM SOON.\nI GUESS YOU AND I HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO DURING THE COURSE OF A DAY AND,USE OUR TIME WISELY. MAYBE SOMEDAY WE WILL BE SPENDING MORE TIME ON THE FASCINATING WORLD OF THE INTERNET.

I would be willing to bet that a very high percentage are in the 6 - 15 year old age range and cannot think for themselves because they spend 60-90 hours a week sitting in front of the computer in mindless chat rooms or playing video games, and have no clue as to how to figure things out on their own.

I think that a lot of teens are so hooked up with ipods, the internet, television, video games, etc. that they aren't doing anything else. Something must be done!

I think it's because there are so many 11 to 13 year olds on here.

Well, these are mostly kids who don't know how to type, don't want to learn, don't bother with details in school such as spelling and grammar, use short cuts like u, ppl, and the rest, and are really babies when it comes to language and therefore think it's clever and cute and so cool to spell things weirdly.  After they get done flooding the internet by dint of numbers with their childish taste and antics, they say "That's the internet! Get with it."\n\nThere's no talking to them about this - they are the object of fuss by their parents, by the schools, by the media, by product vendors, so they are Number One, The Boss.\n\nAfter they have refused an education and dumbed themselves down and are passed over in favor of the ones who can organize their thoughts and write clearly and correctly, they holler, "Elitist!"

Roughly 87% of people aged 12-17 use the internet in the US. This number can be verified via the PEW Internet & American Life Project research. They do a lot of solid research regarding internet use and what it is used for.

Though India is a big population and a little is connected to Internet. Still we have lot of young generation hooked to net with good educational background making our presence felt to the world.

I can always tell when teenagers are on this site (after school and weekends). But I would think at least half of the people on here are the younger generation.

Kids should not be allowed.  But since they will anyway, LEARN TO BE SAFE. \n\nKids Get Net Wise\nGreat information about Internet Safety\nhttp://kids.getnetwise.org/

I'm blunt, honest, open and sometimes sarcastic on here and in real life, however I always get my point across in a respectful manner. Of course it's so easy for kids to act all big and bad on here because they can remain anonymous and hide behind their computer screens. 9 times out of 10 they wont pull that immature crap in real life. I've seen some pretty ignorant "adults" on here too. :-&#92;

Well it seems you assume that everyone who restricts their kids' time on the internet is worried about what they will do or see there. How about this? Kids should GO OUTSIDE or PLAY WITH REAL PEOPLE THEY CAN SEE instead of spending all their time in front of a computer, or TV, or video games, their only interaction being with someone else's created fantasy and anonymous 'chat buddies' who can lie all they want. This teaches children nothing about social interaction with PEOPLE, gets them no exercise, and does nothing for their minds. I limited my kids because I wanted them doing something other than sitting on their asses staring at pixels all the time. When my kids were young, they got 1 hour TV a day, and 30 minutes on the computer. They spend more time with both these days, but they also spend a lot of time playing with real people and reading. That's how I want it to be. When they grow up, they can sit in front of the screen 24/7 if they want to, but somehow I don't think they will.

Because most trouble is caused by teenagers. Adults can't trust kids, they think they are too young to understand things and just want to against everybody even they know it's not right. They just wanna make adults pay some attention and impress other teenagers that they are cool. That's what I think.
