There was an article on the BBC News website on Thursday 23rd August, about Ofcom’s findings in their fourth annual report entitled “The Communication Market 2007.” The report highlighted the varying technologies preferred by different sectors of the population.

The BBC News article states that;

women, in some age groups, are the dominant web users and older web users spend more time online than any group.

• Among Britons aged 25-34, women account for 55% of the time this group spends online
• 16% of Britons aged 65+ spend 42 hours per month online - more than any other age group
• More than 75% of 11 year olds have their own TV, games console and mobile phone
• 15% of 13-15 year olds and 7% of 10 year olds have their own webcam

Both the BBC and the Ofcom article make for an interestng read and are well worth a look.
