Tech and Devices- Generational Concerns

The last 20 years has seen smartphones grow from a new emerging technology to something owned by the vast majority in the country. With that comes concerns over the impact this has had on those who use them, be it children as they grow up or adults coping with the public nature of their online activity.

Opinium’s latest report looks at the use of smart devices in recent years and the impact they are having. This includes a particular focus on Gen Z, the first generation to fully grow up with smart phones, and parents, who are navigating the challenges of raising children in this environment.

Topics covered include when it is appropriate for children to first get smart devices, potential concerns of parents around their children being online, and who is responsible for ensuring children are safe in those circumstances.
