Networked families
A December 2007-January 2008 survey by the Pew Research Center (people-press.org/ ) found that American married families with children 17 and younger are the most “wired” of all households.
| Technology Ownership by Households |
|---|
| | Married with child/children | Other household types |
| Cell phone(s) | 95% | 80% |
| Computer(s) | 93% | 71% |
| At least one household member goes online | 94% | 71% |
| Have a home broadband connection | 66% | 47% |
Ownership of multiple gadgets and communication tools is a standard feature of family life in married families with children:
- 58% own two or more desktop or laptop computers. Almost two-thirds of these multi-computer families (63%) link their computers in a home network.
- Both spouses use the Internet in 76% of families, and 84% of their children use the Internet. Also, in 65% of married-with-children households with a child between the ages of 7-17, a husband, wife and child all use the Internet.
- 89% of these families own multiple cell phones, and nearly half (47%) own three or more mobile devices.
