A nation’s youth all thumbs with PCs

Writing by Chris on Sunday, 15 of April , 2007 at 8:27 am

I love my mobile, but come on.

Accessing the internet on Japan’s mobile phones has become so fast and easy that many young people have forsaken computers.

…

Between 2000 and 2006, the proportion of Japanese 20-year-olds using home PCs to access the internet plummeted from 23.6 per cent to 11.9 per cent, according to figures released by Net Ratings and published in Facta online.

This means 20-year-olds now make up the same proportion of the total as 50-year-olds.

About Me

This is it. I'm not looking to become an Internet star, or buy a house off by adsense moneyz. Though I am willing to go with the flow on either.

You may have noticed that I am not a graphic designer. Or a real programmer. Or race car driver, though that may not be as obvious from the site itself. I apologize for any mistakes, ommisions, or eye gouging graphics choices I may have perpetrated on anyone through ths page
