Half of Korea¹s Preschoolers Use Internet Daily

Internet use among preschoolers between three and five is no longer limited
to a handful of prodigies, an astounding government survey suggests. If the
figures are to be believed, some 48 percent or 870,000 children in that age
bracket used the Internet daily in the second half of last year.

The Information and Communication Ministry conducted the survey together
with the National Internet Development Agency of Korea. It found that
Internet use among five-year-olds surveyed was 64 percent, among
four-year-olds 47 percent and among three-year-olds 34 percent. Young
children on average started using the Internet at 3.2 years of age and spent
on average 4.8 hours a week online.

Some 93 percent of the diminutive respondents used the Internet to play
games or access music, but 39 percent used the web for ³study,² the survey
finds.

The survey was conducted on 18,683 people in 7,076 households nationwide,
with the confidence level of 95 percent and the margin error of ±0.61
percent.
