Consider the source: Data sources for information on children and the internet: Marketing Research – for profit, selling ads Marketing to kids – games, phones, music, etc. Marketing to parents – “protect your kids” Survey Research Centers – nonprofit Social Science Research Publications – usually university sponsored research

What does marketing research tell us? Child Wise (United Kingdom) http://prezi.com/2itsvqxabjlf/children-and-their-media-2012/ http://prezi.com/2itsvqxabjlf/children-and-their-media-2012/ Highlights of Child Wise press release: 5 to 16 year olds: 1. 71% have a mobile phone with internet access 51% use that mobile phone to access the internet 2. Average more than 60 minutes/day on mobile phone activities other than calls. 3. More than half had accessed Facebook in the previous week 4. 39% of participants who had visited Facebook were under 13 5. Media total: 5.2 hours 2.5 hours TV + 1.6 hours gaming + 1.1 hours mobile phone=5.2 http://www.tnooz.com/2012/01/26/news/kids-today-travellers-of-the-future-and-how-they- consume-media-now/

So what about U.S.?-USA Today from Ypulse (profit) Teens are using other social media such as Foursquare and Tumblr (microblog like Twitter). Facebook wants children under 13 to have a Facebook page with parental supervision. Do teens want more privacy (response to parents as Facebook friends) and so turn to apps and networks with less supervision? http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/story/2012-06-20/facebook- teens/55723500/1 http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/story/2012-06-20/facebook- teens/55723500/1 http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/story/2012-06-20/facebook- teens/55723500/1 Other media used by teens: Instagram, a new "app" for sharing photos; ooVoo video chat; blogs and microblogs

Mean = 1.4 (i.e., 1.4 above the first) What predicts SLEEP? Negatively: TV in room, video use of media, online communication use, cell phone ownership, age. Above and beyond these: media multi-tasking Positively: face-to-face (F2F) communication What predicts # friends who are bad influence? Phone talk, online talk/chat/posts/email, video use, and media multitasking F2F communication was negatively related – the more F2F, the lower the number of bad influence friends
