Internet Kids Project

Top > Projects > Internet Kids Project

For children today, the Internet is like the air they breathe. It has become such a part of their lives and the environment in which they develop that they take it for granted. Before making any critical judgments, CRN believes it is necessary to find out how children actually use the media in their daily life. Internet Kids Project includes data and reports that cover the media use among children.
