THE YOUTH COMMUNICATIONS AGENCY HELLO! Thinkhouse undertook the Mobile Youth Survey at the beginning of 2014 to reveal current habits and trends in mobile usage amongst Irish youth audiences. Using Survey Monkey, Thinkhouse surveyed 800 Irish people, between the ages of 15 and 35. We looked at general mobile trends and habits of 15-35 year olds and then we compared the habits of people at different life stages; Teenagers (15-18), Early Twenties (19-24), Late Twenties (24-29) and Early Thirties (30-35). We’ve carved up the survey results in numerous ways to reveal interesting trends and findings. Enjoy! GENERAL YOUTH MOBILE TRENDS Trends among 15-35 year olds in Ireland, 2014.
