That's because they are becoming multi-media-taskers, according to a study from the Kaiser Family Foundation released Wednesday. The study found that since 1999, children and teens' exposure to media has gone up by more than an hour, from 7:29 per day to 8:33, most of that increase coming from video games or recreational computer time. But since much of that has become multi-layered usage--surfing the Web while watching TV, for example--the total number of hours of media usage has stayed virtually the same (6:19 in 1999 vs. 6:21 in the newest study). * Electronic world swallows up kids' time, study finds http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/20050310/1a_bottomstrip10.art.htm * American children juggle media http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/business/technology/11098189.htm <>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<> EDUCATIONAL CYBERPLAYGROUND http://www.edu-cyberpg.com Copyright statements to be included when reproducing annotations from Nethappenings.
