This morning in the Austin American Statesman "the professor" pointed out an article on the front page titled, "Youths almost always plugged in". It was actually a New York Times piece and so I looked it up on the times! What a difference! Look at this sentence:
STATESMAN: "Forty-seven percent of the heaviest media users-those who consumed at least 16 hours a day-had mostly C's or lower in school."
NYT: "While most of the young people in the study got good grades, 47 percent of the heaviest media users — those who consumed at least 16 hours a day — had mostly C’s or lower, compared with 23 percent of those who typically consumed media three hours a day or less."
I was shocked at how different the two articles were and how much more comprehensive the NYT article was. It showed me the answer to my question about the division between TV and other screen time...
Also one line surprised me "The average young American spends nearly every waking minute - except for time in school - using a smart phone, computer, television or other electronic device." In the same Statesman on the Metro and State page was an article about student test scores going up because of using video games for learning math! These articles are worth looking at!
