Kids Comdex

As the large manufacturer find new markets to exploit and people to seduce, it looks like the force of the fully fledged "wow" factor is the latest weapon for ... kids.

The Digital Kids conference this week looked at the possibilities of getting more candy for your Cabbage Patch or cred for your computer game, whilst still protecting them from the "Dark Side" of the net.

There has apparently, according to Jupiter Communications organisers of the event, been a 50 percent increase in the the number of kids online and "while time spent online has doubled to four-and-a-half hours per week". The study also found that "kids in low-income households have surpassed those in high-income homes to become the heaviest Net users". Well, that's a good enough reason to sell stuff they don't want to them so their parents can't afford the college fees.
