In one of my recent studies (I will post it here after it gets published) I discovered the fact that there is a correlation (0.42, medium - moderate) between the number of inhabitants of a city and the level of development of the official city hall Web site. Explaining that to my students they came with a different approach – they never (or rarely) get onto the Web page, but they know almost everything that’s new in their city by the use of Facebook. If that’s true – the correlation should be way stronger – but, and those are my questions: How can I find how implicated is the new generation into cities life by the use of social media networks? How can I measure that?
Dear Catalin,
One easy method would be to take a sample from the new generation in a befitting way for surveying the degree of implication into city life by individual's social media usage.
Hope this could be useful.

Thank you Charvak! Indeed that could work, but i m not quite sure about the accuracy of the results... It is difficult to find a statistical relevant sample in today society, especially regarding this topic... but I will use this method, I guess!
Thats for sure... but I was wondering how it can be measured. It might be a question nobody is looking for an answer, but if we will be able to measure it and compare it with similar moments in history of mass communication such as radio TV or even newspapers... the finding could be interesting. Dont you think?
