So there’s lots of data around about how young people use the internet and various hypotheses drawn from this data. There is a lack of, however, commentary about how it makes us feel using it, probably because there is not tangible, easily measurable way of capturing this.

The website ‘The Web Makes Me Feel’ is attempting change this by collating the short snippets of how the internet makes young people feel. It focuses on 13-19 year olds and will capture their motives, actions and activities in an unbiased, non-influential manner. No leading questions, just emotions noted down. No excel chart or anything but it will hopefully highlight some interesting trends and gaps for solutions and tools.
