I have to say I'm not at all surprised. I should think other countries that do similar studies woud find comparable results.

Re: kids
@Ariella - I agree with you. When I read the percentage that usage is 30% outside the home, that doesn't surprise me either. Go out to dinner and look around and see how many families with children that age are using the internet on some device just to make it peacefully through a meal (myself included).

Is it Live or is it Memorex?
"Second, the definition of TV itself is starting to get murky. Watching content on your TV doesn't necessarily mean you aren't on the Internet. SmartTVs, USB dongles/sticks and OTT set-top boxes now make it fairly simple to get Internet content on your TV screen. So in this scenario, are you online, or are you watching TV?"
Interesting comment because I always presume when these studies talk about watching TV or someone mentions it in conversation they are watching channel broadcasted content that is not internet-based. I guess the lines are starting to blur.

Re: kids
@vnewman kids and adults, as well, from what I've seen when passing by restaurant windows. Other than couples who appear to be on a date early in their relationships, the only ones who appear to pay direct attention to each other are the groups of women playing mah jongg.

Aussie Kids Trading TV Time for Internet
The question I had as I was reading this was, what constituted TV? In other words, the viewer could be using the TV to get online. But then the questioned was answered as I read a little further. Thanks!

Aussie Kids Trading TV Time for Internet
Time spent on the Internet, at 12 hours per week, including off-site locations like schools seems like a rather short amount of time for Australian children when you consider it seems like kids here in the U.S. spend like 8 hours a day online. It would be nice to see a study of the same aged children for the U.S.

Ariella, vnewman - It won't surprise you then that ComScore reported smartphone usage (in terms of time spent) has doubled in just the past three years in the US.

Re: Is it Live or is it Memorex?
vnewman - it depends on the study, each one defines it differently. But for the most, the definition you assume is the right one. Internet delivered video, even to the TV, is generally measured in the OTT category. But I'm not sure that distinction can be maintained for long as smart TV penetration and OTT STB/stick penetration grows.

Re: kids
@Adi, no it wouldn't. One of my kids alone is contributing a great deal to that statistic by buying new phones every few months after she manages to drop hers and shatter the scrreen or break it altogether.
