Children's Internet Searching: Adapting to a Evolving Digital Landscape

This presentation explores the evolving landscape of children's internet searching as analyzed at the 2014 HCIL Symposium. It examines the impact of social influence, mobile devices, and the challenges faced by children aged 7-15 in effectively utilizing search engines. Key findings highlight children's limited awareness of search features, their interactions using technology, and how visual design affects their search experiences. With insights from previous studies and suggestions for future research, this work emphasizes the importance of designing search interfaces that better serve young users.
