A majority of Indians are confident of sharing information online, with 81 per cent adults sharing information once a week or more and close to 48 per cent once a day or more, a survey has found.

Inter personal communication seems to have taken a beating as 64 per cent of adults in India prefer to share information online than in person while 44 per cent said they were embarrassed by or regretted something they have shared online, according to a study commissioned by Intel Corp and conducted by Ipsos Observer.

Nasdaq-listed Intel is a world leader in computing innovation.

Online networking platforms seem to have moved beyond their popularity to being a part of the teenager's lives as 69 per cent of teens feel they are ''missing out'' if they are not able to share or consume information online. Further, 43 per cent of the teen respondents are keen to make sure every moment of their life – even the ordinary one - is posted online.

According to the study - 'Mobile Etiquette' - majority of adults and teens around the world are sharing information about themselves online and feel better connected to family and friends due to this.
 
However, the survey also revealed a perception of `oversharing,' with at least six out of 10 adults and teens saying they believe other people divulge too much information about themselves online, with Japan being the only exception.

The annual 'Mobile Etiquette' survey examined the current state of mobile etiquette and evaluated how adults and teens in eight countries share and consume information online, as well as how digital sharing impacts culture and relationships.
