A new perspective on youth use of the Internet
Posted by Phillip Djwa under Education , NPtechNo Comments
From a new report by Ipsos-Reid:
“Contrary to popular belief, teens are not online as much as they are stereotyped to be, the time they do spend on the Internet is focused rather narrowly on particular types of websites and activities, and their comfort level with technology is actually much lower than adults. ”
This is fascinating research. One point that did stand out is that many teens’ access to the Internet are limited by their parents. If this was removed, would they have sky-high Internet hours?
