<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Amanda and others,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>'Children and their Changing Media Environment' was
a comparative, European research programme (12 participating countries,
1996-99) on 6-16 year old's media uses, also cmc and phones. All national
teams did large scale surveys combined with qualitative studies on the same
research-design. The comparative project is written up in "Children and Their
Changing Media Environment", edited by Sonia Livingstone and Moira Bovill,
Lawrence Erlbaum 2001. Besides there are numerous books and articles on the
national findings from each participating national team. You can search on
the national team members from the information in Sonia's and Moira's book. The
stats, especially on cmc and mobile phoning might be a little out of date even
if the analysis are valid, but I know that most of the participating researchers
have continued researching along the tracks of the European project.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My own newer studies show that new media, new forms
of communication are integrated in everyday media uses - you don't drop other
media (in general) when new one are accessible, but broaden the choice of
possible media. Each media (form) serves a particular
need/practice. Denmark is one of the countries with largest penetration of
mobile phones, also among children and young people - with a huge use of sms.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you are interested, send me a mail off-list then
I'll refer you to a Danish collegue who is doing a ph.d. on teenagers uses of
mobile phones/sms.</FONT></DIV>

Internet use</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=3>Hello Aoir's,<BR><BR>I've been digging around for
days looking for global data on the number/percentage of youth (any segment of
ages between 9 and 24) who use the Internet/use email/use IM, and I've come up
with very, very little. <BR>Does any one know of a source for such
numbers?<BR>I'd particularly like both a global number or estimate and/or a
country by country break down on use.<BR><BR>I'd also love a comparative look
at IM versus SMS use in a variety of countries. In countries where SMS use is
so prevalent among youth, is IM ever used?<BR><BR>thanks,<BR><BR>Amanda
