Seven In 10 Tweens Surf Web At Home
CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 8 and 11 are almost as likely to surf as they are to watch television, according to a new report by market research company Youth Trends.
Youth Trends reported that 81% of 8- to-11-year-olds have a computer at home–just slightly less than the 95% that have a TV at home. The vast majority–87%–of the tweens between 8 and 11 that have computers at home also access the Web from them, according to the report. ”
What I would like to know is how much time the tweens are spending outside… playing? Do they even do that anymore?? From what I have been reading, they are more apt to be shopping. Man, does it start this early these days??
Okay, they are technically doing the shopping, but they are telling their parents what they have seen and the parents are making the purchases. Do kids build forts anymore??
