📰#iXDailyBrief STAT ⚡️ Apps account for over 90% of internet time on smartphones and 77% of internet time on tablets. But this is slightly misleading, in that nearly half of app time occurs in an individual’s top app, and 90% in the top five. Moreover, some web time may be undercounted due to browsers embedded within apps.

​​📱 vs 📺Mobile Soon to Pass TV in Time Spent But IoT could one day soon capture some of those mobile minutes Americans are spending less time with most major media, with one major exception: #smartphones. In 2018, adults will still dedicate more time per day to #TV—nearly 3 hours, 50 minutes—than to any other medium, but TV time is shrinking, down from 4 hours, 37 minutes in 2012. #Mobile time will increase to 3 hours, 35 minutes in 2018, and by 2019 mobile will be the new leader in time spent, with 3 hours, 43 minutes of engagement vs. TV’s 3 hours, 42 minutes. 🚀@PerspectiveIX ☕️prs.pctvix.co/2M8AAOb

​​🌐Social Media Use in Developing & Developed Countries Internet and social media use shows no growth in advanced economies but continues to rise in emerging and developing countries. In recent years, there have been doubts raised about the overall benefits of internet access and #SocialMedia use. Concerns or no, the share of people who use the internet or own a smartphone continues to expand in the developing world and remains high in developed nations. When it comes to social media use, people in emerging and developing markets are fast approaching levels seen in more advanced economies. In addition, as people in advanced economies reach the upper bounds of internet penetration, the digital divide continues to narrow between wealthy and developing countries. ☕️ If you like 🚀@PerspectiveIX, please support us: prs.pctvix.co/2M8AAOb
