Among teenagers with 12 to 17 years of time spent using devices, such as a smartphone, tablet and computer, is At least three hours, including among the three oldest years, they are on average four hours.

The authors of the study pointed out that Almost all older children and teens use smartphones, tablets and computers. Differentiations in use are basically visible only among younger children.

More users under the age of eight are among children from households in the average or bad financial situation and where the lowest income per person is the lowest income.

We register the highest percentage of children and adolescents using smartphones, tablets and computers in the smallest, double households, i.e. those in which the child lives with one adult. Among the youngest children (year – four years), the slightly larger scale of the use of these devices is marked in the case of three -person farms, i.e. parents and a child.

A higher percentage of users aged from one to four years is in the countryside than in medium and large cities. In older age groups, the size of the town does not significantly differentiate the scale of the use of these devices.

“The collected data shows that the exposure of children to digital devices, such as smartphones, tablets and computers, is large and starts from an early age. The scale of using these devices is growing with age and the time spent with them increases. Next to age, next to age, an important factor shaping the time spent time spent in this way is the material situation of the household – the better, the shorter the time is longer, “said the authors of the survey.
