Bangkok - Good news for the e-revolution: according to poll results released Sunday, more than 95 per cent of Bangkok's teens spend up to three hours a day on their mobile phones and 88 per cent spend three hours a day at their computers.
According to a survey conducted last month by Assumption University's ABAC Poll of 1,262 teenage students in the capital, some 95.7 per cent said they spent at least three hours a day on their cell phones, while another 88.3 per cent spent the same amount of time in front of their computers.
Watching TV proved another favorite pasttime, with 94.6 per cent of the respondents claiming they spent more than four hours a day in front of the boob tube.
But the poll results were bad news for print media, predictably. The vast majority of students said they spent only 16 minutes a day reading newspapers.
Noppadol Kannikar, ABAC Poll director, concluded that Bangkok's younger generation is not interested in reading, but prefers talking, watching TV and listening to the radio, rather than following up news themselves, the Thai News Agency reported.
