Since the invention of the television, a
box you could put children in front of and leave them passively
entertained, nothing has changed how children spend their time as much
as the tablet computer.
Four years ago, just seven per cent of 5-
to 15-year-olds in the UK had access to a tablet. By last year it was
71 per cent. Some 34 per cent of this age group even owned the tablets
themselves, as well as 11 per cent of three- to four-year-olds,
according to Ofcom figures.
