Internet use and cell phone use are much higher among native-born Latinos than among foreign-born Latinos. And among young Latinos ages 16 to 25, the native born are more likely than the foreign born to use mobile technology to communicate daily with their friends. These findings emerge from two new analyses of a nationwide survey of Latinos ages 16 and older by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center. HOW YOUNG LATINOS COMMUNICATE WITH FRIENDS IN THE DIGITAL AGE http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=124 Γ] finds that Latinos ages 16 to 25 use mobile technology to communicate and socialize with their friends more than other technologies.
