Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
British teenagers have been spilling the beans regarding just exactly what they get up to online, and the details might just surprise you.
We already know that teens just love posting naked pics online so I guess it should come
as no surprise to learn they also like looking at naked images of
others.
The survey by parental-control software outfit
Cyber Sentinel concentrated on the
online habits of teenagers in the UK. It turns out that the average
British teen spends some 31 hours on the web each week.
Of this, three and a half hours are spent on Instant Messaging while
another hour and 35 minutes can be frittered away researching diets and
one hour and eight minutes on plastic surgery sites.
Then there was three hours and 10 minutes doing homework study and two hours and two minutes browsing YouTube video clips.
Not forgetting the hour and 40 minutes spent downloading music and the hour and 22
minutes on health websites getting information about the kind of things
that teenagers do, such as puberty, sexual health and general illness.
Throw in an hour and 15 minutes on dating websites, plus another hour
and 30 minutes buying and selling at online auction sites. Oh, and then
an hour and 55 minutes within virtual worlds.
Of course, social networking soaks up the most time with around nine
hours spent on Facebook or Twitter, in chat rooms and posting to forums.
Yet somehow they still have the energy to find another one hour and 40
minutes every week to check out the latest in online porn. That's 87 hours a year, or
put another way nowhere near as much as I would have expected.
Still, it might well explain why the most common place for teens to do
their browsing is in the bedroom. But addicted to porn? Nah, doesn't
sound like it to me.
