42% of Year Spent with Media
According to the Census Bureau’s new Statistical Abstract of the United States, in 2007 adults and teens in the US will spend almost 5 months worth of time (3,518 hours) watching television, surfing the net, reading newspapers and listening to music devices.
That’s up almost 6% from the 3,333 hours in 2000.
That means spending 10 hours every day…70 hours each week with media. Often using more than one media at a time.
Not surprisingly, TV watching is down and internet usage is up.
