Survey: Children show web savvy

A recent survey has found that very young children are surprisingly wired in the internet age.

As many as 91.8 percent of children 3 to 6 years on the Chinese mainland have used a mobile phone. Tablet use wasn't far behind, at 83.4 percent, and youngsters' use of computers came in at 80.6 percent.

The survey was based on interviews with more than 20,000 children between 3 and 14 years and their parents earlier this year. It was conducted by Guangzhou Children's Palace, a children's center devoted to the arts and entertainment, in cooperation with 18 other centers on the mainland.
