This document discusses technology use among children in the UK. It finds that 65% of children aged 8-11 have smartphones, with the highest rate of 90.5% in Newcastle. A survey found that 72% of parents plan to buy tech gifts this holiday season. Looking to 2016, those assessing accommodation claims may need to reconsider assumptions about living situations, as more people now live alone or with parents into older ages. The focus for parents may shift to setting controls and privacy settings on devices as tech gifts remain popular on children's wish lists.
