In most OECD countries 70% or more of the households have a computer at home and children use computers quite extensively, even at very young ages.

For children, there is no dichotomy of online and offline, or virtual and real; the digital is so much intertwined into their lives and psyche that the one is entirely enmeshed with the other.
