Digital Britain
Read an interesting article on BBC News today.
It's about the digital state of Britain. Beyond the obvious statement that Britains are using digital technology more than they were 5 years ago, some fascinating stats appeared:
*The average Briton now spends 50 hours per week on the phone, suing the net, watching TV or listening to the radio.
*More than 75% of 11 year olds have their own tv, games console and mobile phone!
*15% of 13-15 year olds and 7% of 10 year olds have their own web cam.
*Young people now spend as much time on their mobile phone as they do playing computer and console games.
*This report echoed this observation that Britons were getting increasingly sophisticated in their use of communications technologies.
*16% of people aged 65+ spend at least 42 hours/month online, higher than any other age group!
*TV viewing has dramatically declined. DVD sales has cut in half.
*"there is a need for greater mobility. People are increasingly using their mobile devices for a range of functions such as camera, downloading music or listening tot he radio."
