83.5% of 16-19-year-old Norwegians are on Facebook.

Jill8 Comments

There are 244,387 Norwegians between the ages of 16 and 19.
There are 204,060 Norwegians between the ages of 16 and 19 on Facebook.
That means that 83.5% of Norwegians between the ages of 16 and 19 are on Facebook.

I wonder how the 16.5% not on Facebook feel?

    I’m 24, a computer geek, and have never used facebook. I don’t like the policies there..

    Ah, you’re not representative, though, former student – or perhaps you’re representative of the 16.5% 🙂

    That’s so crazy that I almost can’t believe it. There must be some duplicates and lots of inactive accounts at the very least. When was the last time 83,5 % of Norwegian teenagers did the same thing? When they got cell-phones maybe?

    There may be some duplicates or fake accounts in there. But even assuming say, 10% are fakes, that’s a lot of teenagers on facebook.

From 17th century book factories to AI-generated literature

When I studied literature we mostly read the classics. Great literature, the canon. But that’s not necessarily what most people actually read. What if instead of comparing AI-generated literature to the literary canon, we tried comparing it to super popular and commercial forms of literature instead? Like the folkebøker that […]
