Facebook use among teens has plummeted from 71% to 31% in the span of a decade.
Twitter/X has fallen from 33% to 16%.
All other platforms included in this survey have either grown or seen relatively unchanged usage over that same time.

Teens turn to a variety of online platforms, but YouTube continues to stand out. Roughly nine-in-ten teens report ever using it. TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat are the next most widely used platforms.

As I'm grading reflections, I'm definitely squinting and trying to figure out if I can hear "Certainly! I can help you with that" as the sentence prior.
Nothing will make you an education AI skeptic faster than grading some college take home assignments. Admins who haven’t been in a classroom in years push it as a learning tool. Students are laughing at them as they use it as a cheating tool. It’s all instructors are texting about with each other.

I'm going to float this nuclear take: maybe students are increasingly turning to ShitGPT and other deskilling devices because the structure of the modern university has made it impossible for them to acquire skill in a deep way.
