That is the average time spent in some sort of media by 8-18 year olds.  According to a study done by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids are spending almost 11 hours a day consuming media.  This media includes music, movies, computer, games, tv, and print.  The main reason why kids spend so much time in media is because kids aren’t afraid of technology.  They haven’t spent any time getting used to something else.  They eat with the tv on.  They listen to music as they do things.  Sometimes they are online, with the tv on, and the music is going.

I wonder what the effect Media has on kids?
