From looking at the graph showing the devices used at home, this indicates what people are viewing e.g. games consoles have decreased which could be because young children tend to use their smartphone for apps nowadays.

Young children aged 2-6 tend to watch programs on TV only at least one time a week.

“Watching the TV set is an important family activity”- watching TV or on-demand content on TV was valued a family activity in the family schedule.

The amount of time children spend watching the TV set is decreasing- probably due to the fact that things such as TV shows and channel apps are more available online for free and it is portable.
