Teens are spending more than one-third of their days using media such as online video or music — nearly nine hours on average, according to a new study from the family technology education non-profit group, Common Sense Media. For tweens, those between the ages of 8 and 12, the average is nearly six hours per day.
The Common Sense census was designed to set a new statistical baseline for research on teen and pre-teen media use, said Jim Steyer, the group's executive director.

Also, according to Socialbakers, the top brands on Instagram have a 50x higher average post engagement rate than on Twitter.

It's often been said that Apple Stores — soaring glass, sweeping stairs, light-flooded spaces echoing with the din of human voices — function, in their way, as secular cathedrals. The stores — though the word "store" doesn't quite feel adequate — celebrate both introspection and communion. They are meant to humble and inspire.

"Persistence is one of the great characteristics of a pitbull, and I guess owners take after their dogs," says Annetta Cheek, the co-founder of the D.C.-based nonprofit Center for Plain Language.
