Digital Boom

Ofcom’s annual report reveals that older media such as TV, radio and even DVDs are being abandoned in favour of more modern technology. The net, mobile phones and MP3 players are revolutionising how people spend their time.

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

Among children it showed that web and mobile phone use is growing at the expense of video games.
