97% of small children have used mobile device, most have their own – study

‘Say goodbye to the days of puzzles and outdoor play – children these days are being kept occupied by more sophisticated toys. New research has found that a staggering 97 percent of US children under the age of four use mobile devices, regardless of family income.

The research – published in the journal Pediatrics on Monday – studied 350 children in a low-income, minority community. The findings noted an “almost universal exposure” to mobile devices, indicating that such technological luxuries are not limited to financially well-off families. In fact, the parents’ education and the child’s gender and ethnicity did not play a role in whether a child owned a mobile device.
