Kids Spend More Time Online, Less Time Watching TV

by on August 25, 2008


For kids ages 10 to 14 who are online, the Internet is a bigger time sink that TV. This is not surprising, but was recently released in a study by Google’s DoubleClick Performics.

I think most parents probably already knew this. For example, my high-school student watches about 2 hours of television per week, usually with me .. as there are a few trashy shows that we enjoy watching together :)

Here are the exact numbers quotes in the New York Times article:

“The study found that 83 percent of Internet users in that age bracket spent an hour or more online a day, but only 68 percent devoted that much time to television.”
