This document summarizes the results of a survey on internet usage among Brazilians ages 12 to 15, who were born in the "Internet Age". Some key findings include:
- 91% of Brazilians ages 12-15 have internet access, the highest rate of any age group in Brazil.
- Playing electronic games and social media usage on platforms like Orkut are very common among this age group.
- 65% of 12-15 year olds typically access the internet at internet cafes, more so than any other age group.
- Over half of internet users in this age group post their own content online, most commonly photos on social networks like Orkut.
2. The survey was extended to Brazilians between
12 and 15 years of age; in other words, those
who were born in the Internet Age.
Whenever applicable, we have highlighted the
What’s new evolution compared to the previous
edition, which included only people over 16.
For the first time we studied the relationship
Brazilians have with electronic games.
And we introduced a few new questions about
previously researched subjects.
