Media Morning Noon and Night

Today I presented the last medianote of the semester and I tried to come up with something that would sum up at least some of the issues that we have been talking about through the semester.

I came up with a survey of electronic media use by Americans 13-18. Electronic media was defined as Internet, cell phones, video games, music and TV (but not radio for some reason). The result was stunning: 72 hours a week of electronic media use, although the number is somewhat inflated because consuming two electronic media at once (talking over a cell phone while watching TV, for example) counts double.

But still, 72 hours is over 10 hours a day.
