Documentary unit: Research for project

Useful stats

Tanya Goodin (founder of one of the UK's first digital detox companies) carried out a survey of more than 500 young people aged 13 to 18. Of those, 29% said they spent more than eight hours a day online while 36% admitted they regularly fell asleep with their phone or laptop in bed.
