24hrs a day HA

but seriously maybe 5 a week

@ least 2 hours a day

Tim, please go back and correct the grammar in this article. Are you asking how much time I spend playing games? If so about two hours a week, I have a job now that I am an adult. But honestly when I was young I played about as much as these figures reflect.

you should be able to spend as much time as you want,where i come from there is a sayin,and it goes a little like this"those that do what they want in life, death tastes like chocolate"

Depends if I have college that day.  I only have college tuesdays and thursdays, so on those days, probably an hour if even.  All other days, 3-6hrs assuming I don't have a massive programming project.

But who cares, more technology means more time it will be used.  Least that's my opinion.  The better the system and games, the more it's played.

this is just because people cant afford to go out anymore.

3 hours a day....at least!

i spend some time.. depending on the day... i prefer game sessions over 30 min here and there...  

i used to play 2 + hours a day but lately i go on and just talk to friends but im getting back into COD4

Wow, thats scary. I can't imagine watching tv for four hours, I can barely get through shows that are longer than 15 minutes long because adult swim has ruined my attention span. I do spend around 3 or 4 hrs a day gaming but I'm 23 years old, I didn't do that when I was 8 years old. I didn't even have a system until I was 13 or 14. Go outside and play you *** kids! Don't hang out, play!

Sad how it gets longer as you move to screen media. I know it's probably because some people don't watch any movies, but how only 25 minutes of movies. A normal movie is over an hour long!

Me? I'd say half an hour on the computer, 2 hours of TV, hour and a half of video games on weekdays (3 hours on weekends), 20 minutes on music, and 1 hour on print. The movie thing I only do on weekends. So I'm probably a little over half average.

I've been playing games less and less now because I've been playing a little too much recently so now about 3-4 hours a week. Although I do a lot of the other things on the list. I wouldn't necessarily say this could be called "bad" though. The computer could be used for many different things other than games, and I listen to music daily because sometimes when I'm doing an activity I like having music in the background.

Am I slow or is there a mismatch from the article to the chart?

Article: 7 hrs. 38 min.

Chart: 10 hrs. 45 min.

Help me out here.  What am I missing?

Haha I am an exception to the rule since I am a stay at home Dad... but I think I easily spend 6 hours playing video games a day. Plus I'm also not between the ages of 8-18

Wow. I'm almost twenty and I -just- got a television in my room for the first time over the holiday. Even then, I had to buy it myself. However, I totally blow that figure for time spend on console games out of the freaking water. I might not play every day, but when I do, it's srs bsns.

See thats why they made the Wii!!

:D

But this is interesting i only watch tv when im going too bed or when 24 is on.

@ least 2 and a half a day

It really varies. I don't play video games every day, but when I do I spend at least 2 or 3 hours. I probably spend an average of 9 or 10 hours a week gaming.

I recently worked with some middle schoolers and I was really surprised how many had iPods and cellphones.  Definitly alot different than when I went to school.

On a average weekday, I get in 1-2 hours but more on the weekend.
