Are the youngsters really getting bored of the social media? To most of us the answer would be no but an study by the Assocham says yes.
The survey said youths were spending less time on websites like Facebook, Twitter as compared to the period when they initially signed up. About 2,000 boys and girls in the 12-25 age group in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, among other cities, were interviewed. "About 55 per cent of all the respondents said they have reduced the time spent on social media websites and are no longer as active as when they had signed up. Nearly 30 per cent said they have deactivated or deleted their accounts," said the survey.
Of nearly 200 people interviewed in Delhi, about 60 per cent said their addiction to social networking sites has reduced with time.
