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?

    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.
