Study: American kids spend 7.5 hours per day using electronics

American youths now spend more than seven and a half hours per day using a smart phone, computer, television or other electronic device, according to a new study.
According to a survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation, those aged between 8 and 18 years old spent an average of 53 hours per week using electronics — and because some of that time includes several electronics at once, they actually manage to cram 10 hours and 45 minutes worth of media into the 7 hours, 38 minutes actually spent per day.
In contrast, they spent less than six and a half hours using electronics five years ago, when the study was last conducted.
In that study, the authors concluded that use could not possibly grow further.
They were wrong.
