A Study Shows 9 out of 10 Kids Have Online Presence by Age 2


PC World recently posted an article about how in the United States 92 percent of children have a digital presence by the extremely young age of two.


The study was conducted by AVG, an Internet security firm. They surveyed mothers from all over the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. The study found that almost a quarter of these children have their digital lives started before their birthday, with parents uploading sonograms.


That puts the statistic at 9 out of 10 children having online presence by the time they are two.
