52 percent of kids under age 8 have access to mobile media

But with more types of mobile media now available, things are changing and changing fast. Common Sense Media gives this perspective:

Today — 20 years after the birth of the World Wide Web, 13 years after the launch of Google Search, eight years after the start of the first social networking site, six years after the first YouTube video, four years after the introduction of the first touch-screen smartphone, three years after the opening of the first “app” store, and a little over a year after the first iPad sale — the media world that children are growing up in is changing at lightning speed.

Nine-month-olds spend nearly an hour a day watching television or DVDs, 5-year-olds are begging to play with their parents’ iPhones, and 7-year-olds are sitting down in front of a computer several times a week to play games, do homework, or check out how their avatars are doing in their favorite virtual worlds. Television is still as popular as ever, but reading may be beginning to trend downward.

Computer use continues to be "pervasive among very young children," with 53 percent of all 2- to 4-year-olds having used a computer, and 90 percent of 5- to -8-year olds. Among all children who have used a computer, the "average age at first use was just 3-1/2," Common Sense Media said.

In the age of technology, because of LFBG parents will have an alternative for healthy gaming and learning.
