Learning Online:The Class of 2013 Spends 1/5 of Day on Computer! - CNN Money
For the first time, the study delved into exactly how much time multi-tasking students were engaging with their preferred media on a daily basis, for any purpose. When all platforms were totaled, the study found that students are spending a whopping 12 hours daily, on average, engaged with some type of media. The majority of that time -- 9.5 hours -- is spent with their "tech" gadgets, including computers, mobile devices, MP3 players, and gaming devices. Markedly, students are now spending twice as much time on their computers as compared to television viewing. Students reported watching 2.5 hours of television daily, nearly equal to time spent on their cell phones or PDA's, while one-fifth of their day is spent on the computer.
