2007 Projection: Media Overload! December 31, 2006
Posted by Steve in : Technology, The Cultural Conversation , trackbackAs we get ready to head into 2007, the U.S. Census Bureau has been hard at work summarizing and projecting various activities.
They recently projected that in 2007, adults and teens will spend nearly five months (3,518 hours — nearly 10 hours a day) watching television, surfing the Internet, reading daily newspapers and listening to personal music devices. According to projections included from a communications industry forecast, they projected Americans will spend an average of nearly 4 1/2 hours daily in front of the television in 2006. Americans will spend another 2 1/2 hours listening to radio and a half hour listening to recorded music. The rest of the nearly 10 hours is spent reading newspapers, looking at the Internet, playing video games and reading other media. This translates into a whopping 65 days in front of the TV, 41 days listening to radio and a little over a week on the Internet in 2007. In addition, adults will spend about a week reading a daily newspaper and teens and adults will spend another week listening to recorded music. Consumer spending for media is forecasted to be $936.75 per person.
So, seeing this information, what are your New Year’s Resolutions?
