Kids most sophisticated

According to a BBC report, the younger members of the household are spearheading reliance on the internet and are often the ones who research and make online purchases.

The study, conducted by consultancy firm Panlogic, was focused on how people aged 35-45 use the internet.

A third admitted they would now be lost without their internet connection, despite the fact it was originally bought for their children.

Children are the most sophisticated users of the net within the family, with 88% of primary school children using it at home and 95% of eleven-to-eighteen year-olds.
