If you seem to be seeing more and more children stuck in one smartphone or one tablets, it does not look only to you, but it really does. A new survey (Connected Kids) from a UK research organization specializing in children and young people finds that children aged 5-16 spend an average of 6 1/2 hours a day in front of a TV, some video game console, one mobile phone, computer or tablet. 
1995, the children had an average of 3 hours a day in front of a screen, according to Childwise's survey. Twenty years later, this figure has more than doubled in 6 1 / 2 hours a day. The boys even seem to be round at 8 hours (average) per day in front of a screen, while 8-time girls spend 3 1 / 2 hours in front of a screen, fewer than any other group included in the survey.
The study also finds that viewing on multiple screens is not just a behavior that only adults have, and children also use multiple devices at the same time.
"The main difference from the 1990s is that back then TV and magazines were the main ways kids connected with media. informations, while today they have many different devices such as tablets, mobile phones, game consoles and thus spend much more time on screen, "said lead researcher Matthew Nevard, who cited a BBC article on the Childwise study.
Children also appreciate apps for protection of privacy, such as WhatsApp and Snapchat, according to the study.
"It reflects the resulting image culture, where images are used to better represent current moods or activities," according to the study.
2009, Childwise found that children spent an average of 6 hours per day in front of a screen, and that one-third of respondents said they could not live without their computer or tablet according to Digitaltrends presented the study.
Companies are certainly aware of this trend of children consuming more and more "digital media" through various devices. For example, Google recently announced YouTube Kids not only for the Web but also for Android and iOS devices.
