How long are you in front of a display?

An interesting report from the Video Consumer Mapping study found that US adults spend more than eight hours a day in front of any sort of display, whether it's a computer monitor, a screen on a mobile phone, a television, etc. (Of course, living near Seattle, that's about the only way we can get a tan for much of the year.)

Some interesting findings from the study:

- adults spend an average of 2h 22m each day at a computer screen (quite similar to what we found for email use each day in an Osterman Research survey)

- adults interact with their mobile device 20 minutes each; for those in the 18-24 group, that figure is 43 minutes per day.

- the average adult spends just over five hours each day in front of a television.
