If it is not texting and looking and TV, it’s computer and listen to my iPod (…) If i know i’m gonna miss a show i record it.
I have facebook on my cellphone. I could research a word, do anything on my phone.

The Kaiser Family Foundation released today a report on Generation M(2), a research on media habits of 8-18 year olds, with a sample of more than 2,000 young people across the US. Impressive how this 100% connected generation is using mobile as the main gateway to digital content. Not to mention the multitasking habits. But you knew that already, right?
Key findings of the report include:
-
Over the past five years, Young people have increased the daily consumption of media from 6:21 to 7:38
-
An explosion in mobile and online media has fueled
the increase in media use among young people.
- Youth who spend more time with media report lower grades and lower levels of personal contentment.
For a short overview of what kids have to say, follow the video below:

Nice post. I learn one thing more difficult on totally different blogs everyday. It’s going to always be stimulating to read content material from different writers and follow somewhat something from their store. I’d choose to make use of some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll offer you a hyperlink on your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.
When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you’ll be able to take away me from that service? Thanks!
Hey Wilmer,
I’m sorry.
I will try.
