A national survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that with technology allowing nearly 24-hour media access as children and teens go about their daily lives, the amount of time young people spend with entertainment media has risen dramatically, especially among minority youth.
Today, 8 to 18-year-olds devote an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes to using entertainment media across a typical day (more than 53 hours a week). Because they spend so much of that time "media multitasking", they actually manage to pack a total of 10 hours and 45 minutes worth of media content into those 7 1/2 hours.
