A new survey has found that children are starting to use the internet from a younger age. Pupils in first class started to go online from under the age of five, compared to their sixth-class peers who on average first used the internet at the age of 7.7, the study found. The School Digital Trend Report from online safety firm, Zeeko, found 86% have access to a smart phone, tablet or iPod. Two thirds of sixth-class children use smart phones to access the internet, play online games, use apps, etc. However, younger children depend mostly on tablets for their online access, with laptops, games consoles, iPods, e-books and smart TVs also widely used by pre-teens to access internet-based content.
