questions from 31 to 35.
Britain has become a nation watching more television online and using smartphones and tablets to access the
web more than any other developed countries, according to new research.
The British love of the latest devices has even seen the UK overtake Japan in mobile internet use, according to
a new report from the UK media regulator Ofcom. The research compared data across 17 countries, including the
US, China, India, Russia and Germany.
An obsession with Facebook, Twitter and Gangnam style clips on YouTube has seen UK consumers download
424 megabytes of data each per month on their smartphones and tablets, almost 60% more than a year ago.
Much of the increase in use of mobile devices has been driven by the popularity of social networking sites
such as Facebook and Twitter, with 40% of UK adults accessing their profiles. British 18 to 24-year-olds are the
world's top mobile social networkers.
UK internet users spent an average of 728 minutes a week online in total, although this is a slight drop from
the 746 minutes recorded in the last report.
The British love of the latest gadgets is also seen in the changing face of the living room. Almost 24% of TVs
sold in the UK in the first quarter of this year were 'super large'.
The popularity of video-on-demand services such as the BBC's iPlayer have made Britons the most likely to
watch or catch up with TV online. Almost a quarter of Britons use an online catch up TV service each week.
Despite the rise of digital technology, good old-fashioned linear TV viewing is showing no signs of losing its
popularity. TV viewing in the UK has remained stable at 242 minutes per person daily.
(Adapted from The Guardian)

The average teen between 13 and 18 spends about nine hours a day consuming media - and that is outside of their
school and homework. Kids aged 8 to 12, or teens, are spending about six hours in front of the screens. They are
watching shows, playing games, connecting on social media and listening to music - sometimes all at the same
time.
Multitasking is the new normal when it comes to homework time. Most teens listen to music while doing their
homework, but many also watch TV (51%) and text (60%). Being asked teenagers say they don't think it is a
problem and don't believe it has any impact on the quality of their work.
However, there is evidence that suggests multitasking makes it harder to retain information and that you might
perform more poorly on the tasks you are doing.
Another fact surveys find is that it seems kids spend more time consuming media than connecting with their
parents and even their teachers.
