spending more time online and watching more TV?
If we've only got 24 hours a day, how can we be spending more time online and be watching more TV?
Answer? Continuous Partial Attention.
ZDNet's IT Facts:
TV viewing at highest levels ever
An average person watched television 4 hours and 32 minutes each day, the highest level in 15 years.

That is an impressive statistic. However, even more impressive is the impact Media Center (and probably that other "Tivo" thing I keep hearing about) has on viewing. While I probably do watch at least another 7 minutes a day on average (probably more!), I consume nearly twice as many shows as I used to. For example, I almost never watch anything live (besides sports) so I never spend time looking for something to watch. In addition, I cut out boring segments of shows, commercials, etc. I also end up being able to watch shows I would have never been around to watch otherwise, such as shows that start before I get home from work, etc.
Also, the only time I'm not using my laptop while watching TV is when I'm watching TV on the laptop itself :-)Anonymous
