Research into the relationships that kids aged 12-24 have with technology:

Some top-line stats may surprise you about the average 12-24 year old (or not, if you are one):

* They personally own 8 devices (including MP3 player, PC, TV, DVD player, mobile phone, stereo, games console, and digital camera)
* They frequently conduct over 5 activities whilst watching TV
* 25% of them agree that “I’d rather stay at home than go on a holiday with no internet or phone access”
* A quarter of young people interviewed text or IM (instant message) friends they are physically with at the time
* They have on average 123 friends on their social network spaces
* And the first thing the majority of them do when they get home is turn on their PC
