46% of US Teens Use the Internet 'Almost Constantly'
We know that teenagers spend a lot of time online, but the Pew Research Center has been finding out a little more about what some of them are doing.

A survey of more than 1,300 young people in the US, aged between 13 and 17, found that 97% use the internet every day. And 46% said they use it "almost constantly" — an increase from 24% in 2014 and 2015.

The new survey, done in April and May 2022, also found that YouTube is now the most popular app among teens, with 95% using the video site, and 19% saying they are on it "almost constantly."

TikTok is the next most popular app, with 67% saying they use it.

Things have changed over the years, however: in Pew's 2014 and 2015 survey, Facebook was the most popular site among teens, with 71% saying they used it. But that fell to just 32% in the 2022 survey.

Twitter has also become less popular — 23% of teenagers say they now use it, down from 33% seven years ago.

There are some differences between the way boys and girls spend their time online.

Pew said that boys are more likely to be on YouTube, Twitch and Reddit, while girls are more likely to use TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat.

It has never been easier for young people to use these sites and apps — 95% of teens said they have a smartphone, while 90% have access to a computer.

EL SOMBRERO CHARRO.

El sombrero charro fue parte del estereotipo del nacionalismo mexicano del siglo XX. El charro fue un pintoresco representante del folclor de México que se convirtió –y con ello, su característico atuendo– en un personaje mítico y que más tarde daría un salto a la industria cinematográfica para conocer la fama. Quizá su origen no tenga tanta relevancia como su trascendencia cultural, pero no es casualidad que ahí, como parte de ese universo simbólico, su sombrero se consolidara también como un señuelo de la identidad mexicana.

Una aproximación hacia el origen del sombrero charro nos exige adentrarnos en el mundo de significaciones que vieron nacer al mítico personaje del charro mexicano. Porque si algo nos debe quedar claro es que la construcción simbólica de este encuentra su apogeo en la Época de Oro del cine mexicano –aunque desde muchos años atrás ya se concebía– y en donde su original vestimenta es el sello indiscutible de lo mexicano. Sí, el charro se constituyó a través de los valores ideológicos de la época apelando a los sentimientos más que la razón. Por esos tiempos, el cine volvió algo idiosincrásico: aquella chaqueta bordada, corta y entallada, a ese pantalón ajustado y ese enorme sombrero jarano de ala ancha.

El discurso nacionalista que se esparcía después de la Revolución Mexicana propició diversas transformaciones en nuestro país. La aproximación más cercana al nacimiento del charro no se da en este periodo sino mucho antes; con el ranchero y el jinete –aunque algunos historiadores sugieren a los chinacos como una figura predecesora–. Pero, el jinete se refería más que nada al hombre de campo, aquel que peleó junto con Emiliano Zapata en la Revolución Mexicana.
