Not only are 16-24s the most enthusiastic users of smartphones but they are most likely to say that smartphones are their most important device for getting online, according to new research.
The study, from Global Web Index, found that close to half from this age group say this about their mobiles, with only a third of 16-24s identifying laptops as their favoored device.
Compare this to the 9% figure that smartphones score among 55-64s and the importance of age-based trends is strikingly clear. In fact, older internet users are much more likely to value desktop PCs (46%) and laptops (40%) over smartphones.
