Photos and videos have become an integral part of the online social experience. In a new survey conducted by Pew Research Center’s Internet Project, more than half of internet users post or share photos or videos online. Our latest data shows:54% of adult internet users post original photos or videos online that they themselves have created. We call them creators and their number has grown from 46% of internet users last year.47% of adult internet users take photos or videos that they have found online and repost them on sites designed for sharing images with many people. We call them curators and their number has grown from 41% of internet users last year.The creator group is made up of those who have posted photos they have taken themselves 52% of internet users do so and those who have posted videos they have taken themselves 26% of internet users.  If a person did either of these activities or both, we consider them an online image creator.
