Study results also show that eight in 10 8-to-12-year-olds and nine in 10 13-to-24-year-olds spend an hour or more online on a typical day. The average number of hours spent online daily increases with age, rising from 1.9 hours among 8-to-12-year-olds to 3.5 hours among 13-to-17-year-olds, topping at 4.5 hours among 18-to-24-year-olds.
