starting at six years, the Smartphone for many children is part of everyday life. You can use it less for Calls. It is through all of life permeates areas. Without it can the least.
The Childhood is digital. And the Childhood is mobile. A study of the digital Association Bitkom shows. More than 900 children from the age of six asked the scientist: How do you use the Internet? What is the role of the Smartphone? And how responsibly you deal with it?
From the age of six, children Smartphones
The result is: starting at six years, more than half of all children using a Smartphone. 54 percent of Six – and seven-year-old phone or Tablet to use at least occasionally. 40 percent of them are already online. From the age of 12, there are then almost all of them – and ten years, the vast majority, namely 75 per cent have a Smartphone. Five years ago there were only 20 percent in this age group.
“This is a structural development,” says a spokesman for the digital Association to tagesschau.de. The more people in the company’s Smartphone and Internet use, the more and more children will come in contact with it. Bitkom-President Achim Berg said: “Smartphones can be from the reality of life of children and young people no longer have to think about.”
