[摘要]Facebook并没有死，但是青少年使用它的方式可能会让你大吃一惊。
BI中文站 12月4日报道在科技博客Business Insider举行的Ignition会议上，一群纽约市青少年登上讲台，不仅讲述了他们使用社交媒体和科技产品的经历，而且还说明了他们认为哪些东西很酷，哪些东西不酷。这8名青少年，全部是来自纽约市五个行政区的高中生，他们称并没有死。他们还说他们仍在使用电子邮件，其中有些人还令人惊讶地表示他们事实上仍然会用手机拔打电话，而不是只用它来上网或发短信。市场研究公司Smarty Pants的研究主管史蒂芬妮-雷特布拉特（Stephanie Retblatt）采访了这些青少年。虽然我们知道他们的观点和看法并不能代表全部青少年群体，但是他们的某些见解还是非常有意思的。Vine、Instagram和Buzzfeed“我已完全不用Vine了。”一名女孩说，“自从Instagram推出视频后，Vine就被冷落了。”虽然她的同伴并不这样看Vine，但是他们都表示自己也很喜爱Instagram。“现在是高三了，马上就要毕业了。”另一名女孩说，“因此，我常常会找一些漂亮的地方，拍一些漂亮的照片。”当被问及这些青少年每天在Instagram上逗留多长时间时，他们有些不自然地笑了笑。“太长了。”一名18岁的男孩承认，“你在上面很容易迷失，常常就忘了时间。”另一名女孩称，当她登录像Buzzfeed这样的网站时，也常常会乐而忘返。她说这个网站的一些小提问——例如，“你是什么样的食物？”——和一些视频内容很容易让人上瘾。一名女孩承认，“我在Buzzfeed上一玩就是几个小时，有时候，我会突然抬起头，问自己：‘你干嘛老呆在这里啊？’”Facebook尚未消亡这些青少年说，Facebook并没有死。但是他们使用Facebook的方式可能会让你大吃一惊。一名男孩说，他会屏蔽掉Facebook的所有新闻动态信息，专门利用它来组织飞盘比赛。一名女孩说，她之所以注册Facebook，是因为她的“奶奶也在上面建了一个账号”。但是，她承认，她至今尚未接受她的奶奶要求加她为好友的请求！还有一些青少年说，Facebook对于他们的学业也有帮助，例如有些老师在上面建立了班级页面，并在上面发布各种动态信息、笔记和家庭作业。事实上，他们都声称，他们会使用手机、iPad和电脑来学习；而且现在有很多应用程序可以帮助他们完成作业。“你们认为，大人们在哪些方面不太理解青少年呢？”雷特布拉特在采访的最后问道。所有这些孩子明确地表示，他们并不是大人们眼中的“只会玩手机的傻孩子”。“我们希望大人们明白，我们是很聪明的，我们没有用手机做蠢事，我们仍然喜欢面对面交谈。”一名青少年解释说。“而且，我们仍在使用电子邮件。”另一名青少年插嘴说。（乐学）【美国Business Insider作品（简称“作品”）的中文翻译权及中文版版权均归腾讯公司独家所有。未经腾讯公司授权许可，任何组织、机构或个人不得对作品进行中文翻译或对作品中文版本实施转载、摘编或其他任何形式的使用行为，违者腾讯公司将追究其法律责任。】
