First off, a tip of the hat to http://churchrelevance.com/ for presenting the research link.

As a children’s pastor interested in technology, media, and the Internet I am always looking for resources related to the way kids interact in the digital world.  Recently OnlineFamily.Norton, a background computer program that shows that your children are doing online, released a fascinating report on the most popular search terms for kids 13-18, 8-12, and 7 & under.

Here are the top four search terms for ages 8-12:
1) Youtube
2) Google
3) Facebook
4) Sex

Here are the top four search terms for ages 7&under:
1) Youtube
2) Google
3) Facebook
4) Porn

Highlights from the research (quoted from the report):
•    Kids under the age of seven spend most of their search time online on games (23%).*
•    Kids under the age of seven are conducting searches for P2P sites like Limewire and Mininova.
•    Boys’ top 25 search terms were mainly comprised of social networking sites, various websites, shopping sites, inappropriate terms, and games.
