Every day we pull some stats from a survey and say have a chat about the findings. Today: How children are embracing technology.

Some 34 per cent of children aged between five and 15 use their own tablet computer now rather than one belonging to their parents or school, up from 19 per cent last year.

Almost two-thirds of children (62 per cent) use a tablet at home, up from 42 per cent last year.

11 per cent of children aged three and four have their own tablet, up from three per cent last year.

The number of five to 15-year-olds who use a tablet to go online has doubled to 42 per cent since last year.

The proportion of children with a television in their bedroom is down over the past five years from 66 per cent to 46 per cent.

Fewer children also have games consoles in their bedrooms, while the number who have radios in the bedroom has halved from 32 per cent in 2009.

The number of children watching TV on a tablet has risen by a third in just a year to 20 per cent while 33 per cent watch on-demand TV.

Girls send more texts and make more mobile calls than boys in a typical week.

Almost half (47 per cent) of older girls say a mobile phone is the device they would most miss, compared to 29 per cent of older boys.

Girls and boys aged 12 to 15 are equally active on social media, with 71 per cent having a profile.

Girls are more likely to use Instagram, SnapChat and Tumblr.

Just one social media site - YouTube - attracts more boys, who are nearly twice as likely as girls aged 12 to 15 to use it.

The most popular methods used by parents to keep their kids safe on the web are supervising their children online (84 per cent), talking to children about managing online risks (78 per cent) and having rules in place about use of the internet (82 per cent).

Is there a problem with children having such easy access to electronic devices and such regular connection to the internet? Do you wish there had been so much technology around when you were a kid?
