The percentage of Bulgaria's children and adolescents using the internet daily has increased by one third in the last three years.

The data was revealed through a research conducted by the National Center for Research of Public Opinion at the Bulgarian Parliament.

The percentage of youth using the web is now 91% compared to 63% three years ago. Only 1% of those polled say they are online less than once per week.

During the same period, the time juveniles spend before a computer using the web has increased to one hour on weekdays and hour and a half during weekends and school breaks.
