The media and Children

The Media and Children
The average child in the US only receives 21 minutes a day of primary attention with their parents, but, according to the Motion Picture Association, spend up to 10.25 hours per day with the Internet and TV. (these statistics were researched 2 years ago, so the stats will be higher now with the iphone) Therefore, by the time the average American child is 17 years old, he or she has watched 63,000 hours of mass media, spent 11,000 hours in school and gone to church for only 800 hours (assuming he or she has gone to church every Sunday for one hour since birth).
