The chart below shows the amount of time that 10 to 15-year-olds spend chatting on the Internet and playing on game consoles on an average school day in the UK
The bar chart compares the time spent by 10 to 15-year-olds in the UK on two activities, namely chatting online and playing computer
games
.
Overall
, we can see that playing computer
games
is marginally more popular than chatting on the Internet.
However
, a completely different trend can be seen if we look at the specific figures for
boys
and
girls
.
Boys
aged between 10 and 15 clearly favour playing on game consoles over chatting online.
According to
the chart,
while
85% of
boys
play
games
every day, only 55% chat online daily.
Furthermore
, the majority of
boys
play on their consoles about 55% for more than one hour each day, and 10% do
this
activity for four hours or more.
By contrast
,
girls
prefer chatting online, which illustrates close to 70% of 10 to 15-year-old
girls
engaging in online conversation each day, compared to about 50% of
this
cohort who play computer
games
. Of the
girls
who do play on consoles, most of them play for less than an hour,
whereas
most
girls
who chat online do so for more than an hour, and nearly 10% chat for four hours and more.
