Media Factoid: Trouble from the Youngsters
January 26, 2010
Short honk: In the article “21 Things We’re Learning to Live Without”, I noticed a startling factoid. Here is the passage that caught my attention. The topic is use of traditional media among kids:
A study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids between 8 and 18 spend just 38 minutes a day with some form of print media, down from 43 minutes in 2004. That’s out of a total of 7 hours and 38 minutes they spend every day using some form of media.
Kindles and other ebook readers won’t create new readers I fear.

A freebie. I shall report this fact to the GPO.
