?According to a research conducted by IBM, 40% of 18-24 old Internet users are influenced by poor spelling and grammar as compared with 35% on average across all age categories.
?
This means that young people are keener to judge and detect poor grammar and spelling on websites than older internet users.
?
Maybe these figures can be linked to the fact that Young adults are twice as likely to use social media for research as the 35-44 age brackets, for example, with 18% of 18-24 year-olds saying they would use Twitter or Facebook to consult internet friends and followers when buying a house or car. Just 1% of the over 55s would use social networks to inform themselves in this way.
?
62% of consumers think the internet and social media has made decision-making easier than five years ago, with radio and television now considered to be five times less influential than online sources for large purchases.
?
Just 11% of consumers would use radio or television to make a decision about buying a house, compared with 64% for online review sites and 62% who would consult friends or family.
?
This survey proves that people are more and more convinced about the influence that the net has on decision making. And we don?t know whether we should applaud to that or not.
