Britain has become a nation watching more television online and using smartphones and tablets to access the web more than any other developed countries, 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 Occam. The research compared data across 17 countries, including the US, China, India, Russia 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, almost 60% more than a year ago.

Much of the increase in use of mobile devices has been driven by the popularity of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, with 40% of UK adults accessing their profiles. British 18 to 24-year-olds are the world’s top mobile social networkers.

UK internet users spent an average of 728 minutes 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’.

The popularity of video-on-demand services such as the BBC’s I Player have made Britons the most likely to watch or catch up with TV online
