Time spent reading holds steady - time online jumps
An article about a new study says, “Back in 1999, the survey reported that kids and teens spent 21 minutes a day reading books and 27 minutes on the computer. This year’s survey demonstrates just how dramatically that gulf has widened: while book reading increased slightly, to 25 minutes daily in 2009, time spent on computers leaped from just over an hour in the 2004 survey to nearly an hour and a half each day.”
