Britons 'love smartphones and selfies'

By Zoe Kleinman Technology reporter, BBC News

Smartphones have edged ahead of laptops for the first time as the preferred devices for connecting online in the UK, a report by Ofcom says.

The communications watchdog said 33% of Britons opted for smartphones as the device of choice in 2014, ahead of 30% who preferred laptops.

Ofcom said the toppling of the laptop was a "landmark moment".

Data from studies in 2014 also suggests that Britons took 1.2bn selfies last year, it said.

Some 31% of Britons said they had taken a picture of themselves in the past year, with one in 10 adults taking at least one per week, Ofcom added.
