Indie Video: 'Immersed'

Remember back a few years when Flickr introduced video and everyone freaked out and lamented the "YouTube-ization" of Flickr?

Well thankfully indie media artist and photographer Matthew Parsons ignored the weeping and wailing and got to work creating videos that prove short form video does indeed have a place on Flickr.

Matthew, who goes by Fanboy30 on Flickr, RedBubble and Twitter, has created a short film titled "Immersed" that is nothing short of amazing.

Lean forward and watch this mesmerizing bit of indie filmmaking.

Infographic: How Teens Use Mobile Phones

Have you ever wondered what teens were really using their mobile phones for? A recent study released by Pew Internet Research has shed light on average mobile phone use among American teens.

This study includes not only information regarding how much teens use their mobile phones, but what they are using them for as well, such as: to go online, text, listen to music, sharing pictures and accessing social networking sites.

Perhaps not surprisingly, average mobile use varies greatly by age, and sexting, while limited (according to Pew only 4% of teen admit sending a nude photo of themselves to someone via text) seems to becoming more of an issue.
