Abstract


The study identifies trends in the amount of time spent online by kids, the amount of time kids expect to spend online in the near future, kids’ opinions about the future role of the Internet in society, and parents’ role in kids’ online activities. The study also identifies kids’ attitudes toward the future of e-commerce and kids’ ownership of portable Internet access devices such as mobile/cell phones (in-depth), MP3 Players, PDAs, ultra light laptops, I-Pods and pagers. In addition, kids’ opinions of the future uses of these portable devices is explored. The “Future of the Internet According to Kids 2005” study was jointly conducted by SpectraCom Inc. and Circle 1 Network. The survey was conducted with members of the Circle 1 Network’s KidsCom Club® Youth Panel, comprised of boys and girls age 8 to 14 years.

Report Highlights
According to the longest running study with kids on the Internet, kids’ cell/mobile phone ownership has increased 142% since 2001. Mobile/cell phones, ultra light laptops and I-Pods are the most in demand products for use in the future. Mobile/cell phones are the device of choice for talking (75% of kids) and text messaging (72% of kids). The majority of kids view the ultra light laptop as being the tool for playing multi-player games, doing their homework, and surfing the Internet.

Those who own a mobile/cell phone have features such as games, text messaging and programmable ring tones. But kids also want new technologies (such as camera and music capability) to compliment their current lifestyle.

Kids’ Internet usage will continue to increase, with 64% saying that in five years they will be using the Internet even more than they are now for school work, to surf more sites, and because they enjoy being on the Web.
