Study: 38 percent of kids under 2 use smartphones or tablets

More than a third of children under the age of 2 use mobile media, according to a recently released report from Common Sense Media. Specifically, the study found that 38 percent of kids under age 2 have used tablets or smartphones.

The nonprofit agency conducted a similar study in 2011. And two years is apparently a long time. Back then, in the halcyon days of the iPhone 4, the number of kids under 2 messing with mobile devices was roughly 10 percent.

When it comes to daily use of technology, the numbers are also rising. "The percent of children who use mobile devices on a daily basis ? at least once a day or more ? has more than doubled, from 8% to 17%," according to the report.

Jim Steyer, founder and CEO of Common Sense Media, spoke to Mashable about the report's findings.

Via Mashable:

"We're seeing a fundamental change in the way kids consume media," Steyer said. "Kids that can't even talk will walk up to a TV screen and try to swipe it like an iPad or an iPhone."

The group's 40-page report is full of statistics, many of which are likely to make you mourn for the changing nature of childhood. In 2011, for example, kids under the age of 8 spent, on average, about five minutes per day on phones or tablets. In 2013, the number tripled to 15 minutes.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children under the ago of 2 not spend any time in front of media screens, including phones, tablets and television. "A child's brain develops rapidly during these first years, and young children learn best by interacting with people, not screens," the AAP writes.

Car Court held in contempt for its smartphones

IONIA, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Judge who interrupted a hearing smartphone in its Chamber held the same contempt and paid $ 25 for the infraction.

Judge Raymond Voet has a policy sent to District Court of Ionia County 64 claiming that electronic devices that cause a disturbance during Court sessions will result in the owner being cited with contempt, the Sentinel-Standard of Ionia and MLive.com reported.

Friday afternoon, during the discussion of a Prosecutor as part of a jury trial, Voet's new smartphone began to emit sounds that requires voice commands. Voet said he thinks it has bumped up the phone, and the embarrassment probably left red-faced.

"I'm guessing that bumped. Started talking really loud, saying, ' you don't understand. Say something like MOM, ' "he said.

Voet has used a mobile phone Blackberry for years and said she was not familiar with the operation of the new touchscreen, Windows-based phone.

"That is an excuse, but I do not take those excuses from anyone else. Set the bar high, because cell phones are a distraction and there is very serious, "he said. "The House is a special place in the community, and needs more than that."

Over the years, the judge whose court is about 110 km northwest of Detroit took the phones away from police officers, lawyers, witnesses, spectators and friends. During a break in the trial, Voet itself held in contempt, fined himself and paid the fine.

"Judges are human beings," said Voet. "I'm not above the rules. I broke the rule, and I have to live by it. "
