Alarming Study Finds 25% Of Children Aged 3-4 Own Smart Phones

Sharing is Caring!

A study by the government’s communications regulator in the UK has found that a quarter of children aged just 3-4 years old own smart phones.

Yes, you read that correctly, 25% of children barely older than toddler age have an i-Phone or similar device.

In fact, the study by Ofcom found that a quarter of all children under the age of 7 have a smart device, an increase of around 5 percent in one year.

The data for children younger than 7 was provided by their parents, so the real number could be much higher if some parents chose to be liberal with the truth.

The study found that close to 60 percent of 8-11 year olds own a phone, and when you get to the ages 12–17, essentially all children own smart phones.
