I wonder if this helps explain
why the labor productivity
growth rate has been so slow?
A report by Nielsen found
that Americans spend
an average of 11 hours per day
interacting with media.
Nielsen's first-quarter 2018
report on media consumption
released on July 31. showed
the time Americans spent
interacting with media
was up 19 minutes
over the previous quarter,
and here are the details:
Watching live television:
4 hours, 10 minutes average per day
Watching time-shifted television:
36 minutes
App/Web on a smartphone:
2 hours, 22 minutes
App/Web on a tablet:
47 minutes
Internet on a computer:
39 minutes
Listening to the radio:
1 hour, 46 minutes
Internet connected device:
26 minutes
Game console:
14 minutes
DVD / Blu-Ray device:
6 minutes
Adults ages 50-64 averaged
nearly 13 hours a day !
Young adults 18-34
spend 43% of their time
consuming media on
digital platforms.
Almost a third of their time
spent with media (29%)
comes from apps/web
on a smartphone.
As a retiree since the end of 2004,
I try to avoid too many hours
watching media, by NOT
going online at least four days
a week, and sometimes five days.
A different study discovered
that the average office worker
in America spends 1,700 hours
in front of a screen each year.
According to a survey
of 2,000 office workers
by contact lenses
manufacturer Acuvue,
office workers spend
about 6.5 hours a day
sitting in front of
their computer.
Is this good
for worker productivity ?
Approximately 90%
of the programming
that comes through your TV
is controlled by just six
giant media corporations.
In 2018, alternative voices
are in an information war,
being “shadowbanned”,
censored, or
having their accounts
terminated altogether,
by the tech giants.
Some of the large
conservative websites
have seen their traffic
from social media
fall by over 90%.
If you want to change society,
you have to go online,
because that's where
the people are!
