Babies below 5 are internet’s biggest fans in US

Recently report published by two non-profit organizations of US namely, Sesame Workshop and Joan Ganz Cooney Center speaks about the staggering advancement among US kids. According to the report almost 80% American kids aged below 5 years use internet every week. The report further tells about how kids in US are getting absorbed in the usage of internet. They are happily and without much effort learning different forms of digital media. In many cases t has been noted that kids are learning more than one type of digital media in one go.

Watching television remains to be the most used digital media by kids. Moreover, watching television lessens the number of hours spent in internet surfing. And this is probably the reason that among all the digital media used by toddlers, television ranks the highest securing 47 %. The television watching among is a link to the usage of internet by kids. It has been observed in one study that more then 60 %b of the children below 3 years are seen to watch online video. This explains the reason how television watching is boosting the internet use among toddlers.

Surprisingly as a toddler grows up the time spent in internet and television has been seen too slash down dramatically. This can be reasoned by the fact that as kids grow up they spend less time in home and thus stay away from digital devices like computer, television etc.

The study report on usage of digital media by kids may produce several figures that can be surprising all over the world. But there remains one more point that is yet more surprising. Even after the advent of sophisticated devices, like ipod and mobile phones, where kids have the option of watching video, time spent in reading books remains constant.

Whatsoever the report of this research may reveal but it doesn’t solve the age old debate whether spending time before screen is sound for children. When a research is taking into account so many surveys then it should not be statistics centric. Rather it must give out some messages as conclusion. A concrete inference is absent in this regard.
