In the last few years there has been a sudden boom in the availability of internet – enabled devices for children and young people, in particular smartphones and tablets that they can carry around. This has given children much greater accessibility to the mobile internet and all the opportunities that promises.
This transformation in the digital lives of children and young people was explored in the first report of this series, “Changing media, changing families”. That report alerted us to the rich media lives that young people were increasingly enjoying and their desire to become more skilled and involved in the internet as they grow older.
Our findings are based on our two major European-wide research projects: the EU Kids Online, and its sister project Net Children Go Mobile. From those massive research projects involving interviews with thousands of children across the continent, we have learned that with the arrival of smartphones and tablets and the convergence of technologies, device use has become ever more intimate.
