January 14, 2010 - GENERATION M2: Media in the Lives of 8- to 18-Year-Olds
The average young American now spends practically every waking minute — except for the time in school — using a smart phone, computer, television or other electronic device. When surveyed about their grades, about half (47 percent) of heavy media users (young people who consume more than sixteen hours of media a day) said they usually get fair-to-poor grades (mostly “C”s or lower). Conversely, only about one quarter (23 percent) of light media users (young people who consume less than three hours of media a day) said they get fair-to-poor grades, Kaiser Family Foundation (New York Times article). |
