POST by NVus
This may be irrelevant to kids in the U.S. but it is still a sign of the times…them overseas kids don’t play. If this trend continues then ‘OUR YOUTH’ is in for some trouble.
Stuttgart - More German youths have a computer of their own than a television. While 71% of 12 to 19-year-olds own a computer, the share of youths with their own TV came to 61%, according to a 2008 “JIM Study” by the Stuttgart-based Media Pedagogy Research Association Southwest.
Half of all German youths also have their own internet connection. The share of 12 to 19-year-olds who go online several times weekly is also much higher, 84% in fact. Even so, 89% cent of youths report watching television at least several times a week. The representative study involves 1 200 youths and has been undertaken annually since 1998.
