Going mainstream: The Internet of Things will represent over 6 million connected devices by the end of 2016.

According to a Logitech survey of British and American parents, 92% of children aged between two and seven now have regular access to a smartphone or tablet.

However, respondents are unsure whether letting their children get to grips with mobile devices so early is a good idea.

Just over half (51%) of all parents surveyed think it is ok for younger children to use a tablet or smartphone but 60% of British parents think that kids should not be allowed to use devices until they are at least five years old.

Nevertheless, 35% of UK parents surveyed and 40% of US parents said that their children already had their own device. —  AFP Relaxnews
