Report on time spend online and other media by 8-18 year olds

[dogboy]

This well done report that states that children aged 8-18 years old spend an average of 7 hours, 37 minutes daily using media. This included about 4.5 hours of TV, 2.5 hours of listening to music, 1.5 hours of using a computer, and just over an hour of video games.

I believe that.

Of course I spend 8 hours at a computer at work. While listening to music. At home I catch maybe an hour or three of TV, not necessarily watching it, just background noise. Oh, and Mario Superbros for Wii is epic.

That's all? Amateurs!

Does this take into account of multitasking? Because right now I'm watching t.v., I'm on my computer, AND I'm listening to music... Usually though its just the computer and music though =)  (Hey, I'm a college kid, cmon!)

Yup.....our Air Force Officers.....very busy supporting the warfighters from a computer terminal 5,000 miles away flying a UAV, listening to Green Day while typing on Captalk and sipping a venti mocha latte.

My Facebook status right now is "You say 'unpacking computers,' I say 'contributing to the joint warfighting effort.'"

But we are Officers, you need to find an Enlisted guy to do that "heavy lifting".  hahahaha

I'm on casual status - for all intents and purposes, I *am* enlisted when the grunt-work jobs come around!
