I was having a discussion with my almost-17 year-old about the internet. He wanted me to "understand" that the internet has its own culture. I disagreed. After waiting out the wave of protest, I elaborated, opining that the internet has its own cultures. Now it was his turn to protest, to my incredulous ears. He would not be swayed from the concept of young people (college age and below) rule the internet and make up 90% or more of users and web space. I feel that this is utterly ridiculous, and he is speaking from the "box" he's used to being in online. He would not be swayed. It is an interesting debate, and I wonder if anyone has quantified the entire internet at all. It would be interesting to see demographic analysis of internet use. Does anyone know of such an analysis?
