It revealed the challenges that parents face in keeping up with what their children are doing online, with 48% believing their children know more about the internet than they do and 73% of children agreeing.
However, just a year later the research was repeated and showed that gap in tech-knowledge between parents and their children is narrowing.
It showed that parents had a greater understanding of the common social media platform that their children were using; parent had overtaken children uploading photos, videos and music online and the humble desktop computer was almost retired as 6 out of 10 parents turned to smartphones to go online.
