Read the following text: Britain embracing digital technology faster than any other nation By Nick Webster 21/11/2008 If you still think surfing the net is something to do with Cornish fishermen and you get HDTV from sitting down too long, you're fast becoming an endangered species. People in Britain are embracing digital technology faster than any other nation. And, when you see primary pupils confidently clicking away with a mouse and people holding up mobiles rather than lighters at gigs, it's not hard to see why we lead the way. Brits have more digital TVs and recorders per head than any other country, a survey has found. At 839 minutes a week we're second only to the US when it comes to time spent online - double the amount we surfed three years ago. Three quarters of people even like to watch TV and surf at the same time, known as "media stacking". Half of UK internet users have logged on to social networking sites such as Facebook and Bebo - 800,000 of us even do this while we're out and about on mobile devices. This startling view of Britain was revealed in Ofcom's International Communications Market Report. Technology expert professor Simeon Yates said: "The reason why we're going digital so fast is we were at the front of the queue. We, along with the Scandinavian countries, were the first to have 100 per cent mobile phone saturation - where the number of phones equals the number of people. And we're one of the first countries going fully digital with our television." The Sheffield Hallam University prof added: "It helps that our pricing policy, for example with mobiles, is now quite competitive compared with the rest of the world. And now we have people growing up used to the idea of being in constant contact with one another, and expecting to be. It's about being able to reach out and touch people. It allows people to feel like they're part of a large social group." TELEVISION With the switch-off of analogue TV already underway, 86 per cent of UK households already have digital TV on their main set - nine per cent up on last year. Almost a third have a digital video recorder. And we're ahead when it comes to high-definition TV - there are 700,000 households with HD subscriptions in the UK but only 500,000 in France, Germany and Italy combined. The US and UK also lead the trend of watching TV online. People in the US watched nearly 26 TV programmes per person in 2007, while here we downloaded eight TV shows each. PHONES Brits made 99 billion minutes of mobile phone calls last year - and 59 per cent used their phone as a camera. There are now 74 million mobile subscriptions in the UK - more than one for every man, woman and child. We talked on them for 136 minutes a month in 2007 - 23 minutes longer than 2006 - and we each sent 81 texts a month. But we spent five minutes less a month on landlines in 2007 than 2006. COMPUTERS Mobile broadband has boomed with an estimated 60 million subscribers worldwide using a "dongle" or mobile phone by the end of October 2008. In the UK, monthly mobile dongle sales reached 163,000 in July 2008. All countries surveyed are spending more time online. The US surfs most at just over 15 hours per week in 2007 - up from 11 hours in 2004. The UK is second at nearly 14 hours a week, with the highest increase of nearly 6.5 hours a week. In most countries, more women than men use the internet but in the UK it's an equal split. And age is no barrier with eight per cent of UK internet users above 65. We also have above average broadband use with 60 per cent of households connected.
