Summary | A study conducted by the Zurich University of Applied Science shows that of 1000 informants between the ages of 12-19, 97% have a smartphone and only 1% a traditional mobile phone. Fewer young people use mp3 players than in recent years but listening to music still ranks high among young people. Social media use has increased considerably while different age groups target different platforms: 18-19 year-olds prefer Facebook while 14-15 year-olds use Twitter more profusely. Young people report having fewer offline hobbies than in recent years but still make sure to meet with friends on a daily basis.

Summary | A mother is worried that her sons are too passive, always hanging around with their smartphones instead of getting active in sports clubs or other social clubs. Experts advise parents not to worry as long as children sleep enough, keep their grades up in school, and keep a few social contacts. The younger generation lives in a different world of endless possibilities and of the fear of committing to one and failing.
