According to research by Ball State University’s Center for Media Design, average American spends around 8.5 hours a day staring at the screen – be it iPhone, TV, Monitor, GPS…etc.
Based on this research Wired released a so called timetable for healthy media diet (see below). Basically you start of with 9 hours and supposed to divide your time accordingly between different media.
Does your media diet looks like above? Balanced? Mine not so much, I am like stuck on the second and half of third level for all the 9 hours ;)

For me… most of my time is spend in front of a screen of some sort, most of it though is the computer screen. But… my work mainly is on a computer… so it kinda of makes sense for me at least.

I spend a minimum of six hours daily on my computer and a full hour on my favourite soap- both in front of a screen.
I do not see my self changing this schedule until I can earn full time online.
You have shown the better way of using the time efficiently.
perfect schedule, but I do not play the game, as it is a waste of time …
Depends if i have the day off work then it would be solid 12 hours in front of a screen lol not good think i need my eyes checked out.
I spend an average of 9 hours staring a a screen a day that sounds about right! But I don’t necessarily think it is a good thing. I am wondering what long term affect that will cause.
its just time organization and balance. Nice post, i like this.
I feel like a screen zombie. I should be doing more socializing instead of becoming technology slave.
haha. that nice diet for me. :)
On this diet, with newly launched websites, I’m as skinny as gamers.
Lol, it used to be a balanced diet with food, now there’s a media diet. I have to admit, I spend almost half my day in front of the screen, phone then there’s work. No wonder my eyes are as blurred as they are now.
