Teens growing up fast

Research commissioned by AVG (a Internet security company) suggests that young people (10-13 year olds) have adult-like skills when it comes to computers and information technology, but that they may not have developed the maturity to understand what they are doing and the potential implication of what they do.

This is part of AVG's Digital Diaries project in which young people and their families were encouraged to record digital activities.

In 2010, that project found that more young people can play computer games than can ride bikes!
