OFCOM Report Offers Reality Check on Learner Access to ICTs

Created by Catherine Howell (University of Cambridge) on August 27, 2008

The recently-published OFCOM Market Report makes for some interesting reading. Some of its numbers you would expect: the report charts, among other things, UK growth in consumption of gaming, user-generated content, and SNS (social network systems). Among the more surprising key facts buried in the report are related to what you might call "under-use", or use of ICTs for unintended purposes, and in unanticipated ways.
