Research firm Childwise found that on average five- to 15-year-olds were spending three hours a day using the internet, compared to 2.1 hours watching TV. The amount of time children spend in front of a television screen has been declining steadily from a high of three hours in 2000/2001 and was at 2.3 hours last year. However, time online has seen a huge surge according to the research, up 50% from two hours last year. The research, which is based on an online survey of more than 2,000 children, did not distinguish between TV-like services on the internet, such as Netflix and iPlayer, and other forms of browsing such as Facebook, meaning it is unclear whether children are merely watching shows in different ways.
Facebook to rival Periscope with new live video feature
Facebook will start broadcasting live video in a dedicated space on its iPhone app, it announced on 28 January. The feature will initially only be accessible for users in the US who have the Facebook iPhone app and will extend the feature to the rest of its 1.6 billion users over the next few weeks. An Android version is also being developed. CEO Mark Zuckerberg emphasized video during the company’s most recent financial results. He said lighter, less data-intensive versions have been introduced for users in developing countries, as well as more video advertising tools for brands.
