Britain has become a gadget-obsessed nation, watching more television online and using smartphones and tablets to access the web more than any of the world’s leading economies, according to new research.
The British love of the latest devices has even seen the UK overtake Japan in mobile internet use, according to a new report from the UK media regulator Ofcom. The research compared data across 17 countries, including the US, China, India, Russia, Brazil, Sweden, France and Germany.
An obsession with Facebook, Twitter and Gangnam-style clips on YouTube has seen UK consumers download 424 megabytes of data each per month on their smartphones and tablets. The figure is almost 60% more than a year ago.
Much of the increase in use of mobile devices, especially smartphones, has been driven by the popularity of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, with 40% of UK adults accessing their profiles on the go. British 18– to-24-year-olds are the world’s top mobile social networkers, with 62% accessing their profiles from smartphones and tablets.
UK internet users spent an average of 728 minutes (more than 12 hours) a week online in total, although this is a slight drop from the 746 minutes recorded in the last report.
The British love of the latest gadgets is also seen in the changing face of the living room. Almost 24% of TVs sold in the UK in the first quarter of this year were “super large” – bigger than 84 cm.
The popularity of video-on-demand services such as the BBC’s iPlayer has made Britons the most likely to watch, or catch up with, TV online. Almost a quarter of Britons use an online catch up TV service each week, ahead of secondplaced US on 17%.
Despite the rise of digital technology, good oldfashioned linear TV viewing is showing no signs of losing its popularity. TV viewing in the UK has remained stable at 242 minutes — more than four hours per person daily.

Apple has finally unveiled its much talked about smart watch.
Apple is well versed in wowing its followers during its legendary product launches.
The first big surprise with the new timepiece came with its name.
The company has deviated from its previous naming convention and ditched the "i" prefix.
Many thought CEO Tim Cook would show us the iWatch but instead he announced the coming of the Apple Watch.
The device has a new interface, it runs apps, and acts as a health and fitness tracker. It also has a digital payment system called "Apple Pay," which Tim Cook hopes will "replace the wallet".
Users can also experiment with eleven different watch faces and, for the fashion conscious, an array of straps.
Reviews of the Apple watch have been mixed. Tim Coulling, senior analyst at research firm Canalys, believes the watch could be the catalyst for people to start wearing technology.
He said: "For many people, waiting to see what Apple did was a first step before going out to buy a wearable technology product."
Many people could be put off by the price. At $349, it is considerably more expensive than its more established rivals.
But then, millions of loyal customers have always paid the premium for an Apple product.
Apple could trump its rivals on the grounds of its watch being a must-have fashion accessory.
Apple hired fashion industry bigwigs, including the ex-CEO of Burberry, to work on the watch's design.
