Excerpt from New York Times Article:

Whichever Screen, People Are Watching
https://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/08/business/media/08adco.html

SOMEHOW, despite more distractions than ever, we’re finding even more time to plant ourselves in front of screens.

The first in a series of new “three-screen” reports by the Nielsen Company shows an emerging shift toward a more video-centric use of the Internet, but not at the expense of television viewing. The report, an initial effort by Nielsen to “follow the video” as consumer viewing habits shift, is scheduled to be released Tuesday.

The average American spent 127 hours of time with TV in May, up from 121 hours in May 2007; and 26 hours on the Internet, up from 24 hours last year. More than 282 million people watch television in a given month and nearly 162 million use the Internet.

MY COMMENT:
