Social Networking Research

According to the Pew Research Center, younger generation are no longer blogging. Older generations are taking over the social networking revolution, while the younger generation is "dying down." Why could this be?

Social Media and Young Adults, a study conducted by the Pew Research Center, gives specific statistics of youths using the social media tools that are provided to them. I found this specific finding to be interesting: "While blogging among adults as a whole has remained steady, the prevalence of blogging within specific age groups has changed dramatically in recent years. Specifically, a sharp decline in blogging by young adults has been tempered by a corresponding increase in blogging among older adults."

Why is that? Why do you think older generations are embracing these social networking tools rather than younger generations?
