A new survey in Britain reveals that young people spend over 27 hours a week online. This figure has trebled in the past decade. Britain's communications watchdog Ofcom conducted the study on thousands of 16- to 24-year-olds as part of its Media Use and Attitudes 2015 report. Ofcom found that while most online content is still being accessed on computers, the proportion of access via mobile devices is rapidly catching up.Two thirds of adults now regularly use a smartphone or tablet. Online content has also changed considerably in the past ten years. Today, people are spending a lot more time on watching video clips, playing games, using instant messaging and checking social media accounts.

英國(guó)的一項(xiàng)新研究表明年輕人每周的上網(wǎng)時(shí)間超過(guò)了27小時(shí)。在過(guò)去十年間，這一數(shù)字增長(zhǎng)了三倍。英國(guó)電信公司Ofcom在2015年網(wǎng)絡(luò)使用習(xí)慣報(bào)告中對(duì)數(shù)千名16到24歲的成年人進(jìn)行了調(diào)查。Ofcom發(fā)現(xiàn)絕大部分人還是通過(guò)電腦進(jìn)行上網(wǎng)，而手機(jī)上萬(wàn)的比例也在急劇上升。有三分之二的成年人會(huì)經(jīng)常使用智能手機(jī)或是平板電腦。在過(guò)去十年中，網(wǎng)絡(luò)內(nèi)容也有了很大程度的改變。如今，人們?cè)诳匆曨l，玩游戲，發(fā)短信以及使用社交媒體的時(shí)間正在不斷增加。

An industry expert, Toby Syfret, explained why more people are spending more time online. He said: "New technologies are opening up a myriad of other possibilities for young people. It's not just watching content.They're messaging friends and texting at the same time. Inevitably, as the younger generation gets older and they set up their own home, TV viewing consumption will be affected." Over a quarter of young people now watch TV shows and movies online instead of on televisions. Mr Syfret added: "A 40-inch television screen offers quality you can't get from a tablet or smartphone, so televisions are never going to become unimportant."

產(chǎn)業(yè)分析師托比·希夫萊特對(duì)年輕人上網(wǎng)的原因進(jìn)行了解釋。他說(shuō)：“新技術(shù)正在為年輕人提供更多可能。他們不僅僅在上網(wǎng)。同時(shí)，他們還在給朋友發(fā)短信。隨著年輕一代逐漸長(zhǎng)大，他們也將不可避免地建立自己的家庭，而電視產(chǎn)業(yè)將會(huì)受到影響。”如今，有超過(guò)四分之一的年輕人通過(guò)網(wǎng)絡(luò)觀看電視節(jié)目和電影。希夫萊特先生還說(shuō)：“40寸電視顯示屏是你在平板電腦或是智能手機(jī)上無(wú)法體會(huì)到的，所以電視永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)被淘汰。”
