A new survey in Britain reveals that young people spend over 27 hours a week online. This figure has trebled in the past decade. Britain's communications watchdog Ofcom conducted the study on thousands of 16- to 24-year-olds as part of its Media Use and Attitudes 2015 report. Ofcom found that while most online content is still being accessed on computers, the proportion of access via mobile devices is rapidly catching up.Two thirds of adults now regularly use a smartphone or tablet. Online content has also changed considerably in the past ten years. Today, people are spending a lot more time on watching video clips, playing games, using instant messaging and checking social media accounts.

英國的一項新研究表明年輕人每周的上網時間超過了27小時。在過去十年間，這一數字增長了三倍。英國電信公司Ofcom在2015年網絡使用習慣報告中對數千名16到24歲的成年人進行了調查。Ofcom發(fā)現絕大部分人還是通過電腦進行上網，而手機上萬的比例也在急劇上升。有三分之二的成年人會經常使用智能手機或是平板電腦。在過去十年中，網絡內容也有了很大程度的改變。如今，人們在看視頻，玩游戲，發(fā)短信以及使用社交媒體的時間正在不斷增加。

An industry expert, Toby Syfret, explained why more people are spending more time online. He said: "New technologies are opening up a myriad of other possibilities for young people. It's not just watching content.They're messaging friends and texting at the same time. Inevitably, as the younger generation gets older and they set up their own home, TV viewing consumption will be affected." Over a quarter of young people now watch TV shows and movies online instead of on televisions. Mr Syfret added: "A 40-inch television screen offers quality you can't get from a tablet or smartphone, so televisions are never going to become unimportant."

產業(yè)分析師托比·希夫萊特對年輕人上網的原因進行了解釋。他說：“新技術正在為年輕人提供更多可能。他們不僅僅在上網。同時，他們還在給朋友發(fā)短信。隨著年輕一代逐漸長大，他們也將不可避免地建立自己的家庭，而電視產業(yè)將會受到影響。”如今，有超過四分之一的年輕人通過網絡觀看電視節(jié)目和電影。希夫萊特先生還說：“40寸電視顯示屏是你在平板電腦或是智能手機上無法體會到的，所以電視永遠不會被淘汰。”
