A survey of 5,000 Canadian and American on-line youth (12-21) has found that, for example, 87% of 15-year-olds use instant messaging, while nearly half of 12-14s have a mobile phone.
Forrester Research says more technology is being used at a younger age to connect with more people than ever before.
Chris Charron, Forester’s VP and Research Director says, “We are seeing a generation of young people for whom technology is not just a nice-to-have, it's a critical part of their lives.”
He calls them “communication junkies”, noting that 83% use Instant messaging and more than three out of four young consumers have a mobile phone.
