Email and search

Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)

More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)

More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)

From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries

The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines

While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce

The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS
