"If Your Kids Are Awake, They're Probably Online"

Here is an interesting article that was passed along to me by a colleague.

Here are some key points:

"Those ages 8 to 18 spend more than seven and a half hours a day with such devices, compared with less than six and a half hours five years ago, when the study was last conducted."

"...it was time to stop arguing over whether it was good or bad and accept it as part of children’s environment"

"The heaviest media users were also more likely than the lightest users to report that they were bored or sad, or that they got into trouble, did not get along well with their parents and were not happy at school."
