The survey was conducted on 1280 respondents: 653 teens (13-19) and 627 young adults (20-26).

The dates from the survey revealed that

  • 22% of teen girls
  • 18% of teen boys
  • 11% of young teen girls (13-16)

have posted or send nude/semi-nude pictures or videos of themselves.

Regarding the young adults that have sent or post nude/semi-nude pictures or videos of themselves, it seems that in this case the number increases:

  • 56% of young adult woman
  • 62% of young adult man
  • 64% of young adults say that they have received such messages

More than that, from statistics we can find out to whom these messages were sent:

  • 71% of teen girls and 67% of teen guys say they have sent the content to a boyfriend or girlfriend.
  • 21% of teen girls and 39% of teen boys say they have sent it to someone they like and would like to date with
  • 15% of teens who have sent or posted nude or semi-nude images of themselves say they have done so to someone they only knew online.
  • 83% of young adult women and 75% of young adult men say they have sent the content to a boyfriend or girlfriend.
  • 21% of young adult women and 30% of young adult men have sent it to someone they like and would like to date with
  • 15% of young adult women and 23% of young adult men say they have done so to someone they only knew online.

These numbers are facts that we cannot ignore. We should better try to change something in these young people lives and their perceptions before is too late. These teens must know that their acts can have seriously damaging effects on their futures. If you have any idea on how can we help them please let us know your suggestion.

According to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive for Wellgate for Women, ninety-six percent of women who work in an office claim to like or love their computer, with the average woman spending nearly triple the amount of time daily with her computer than she spends with her significant other (9.3 hours compared to 3.6 hours).
(You can read the press release here :) )

What we find interesting is that when it comes to our closest friends, usually the woman is the one who blames the husband for spending more time with the computer…not mentioning the time spent at the computer during working hours.
So, starting from this topic we conducted an internal survey at our offices. This is what we found out :)

100% claimed that men spend more time at the computer at home. Two thirds claimed that women are more addicted to specific topics (tabloids, shopping, music, etc) then men. All agreed that a woman can stay longer without a computer.
We conducted this instant survey in all offices from the building and we asked simple questions like `At home, who spends more time at the computer, you or your husband/wife?`, `Which one of you is more addicted?` and other polemics which can`t be reproduced here :)

In the end, what is the truth? Do women spend more time on the computer instead of their families? Or the men are `the main subject` in this issue?

What do you say? How is it at your home/close friends?
