Children on-line all day? How 'bout you?

The New York Times published a report on a study of American children "ages 8 to 18" that says they are now on-line more than 7.5 hours per day -- "And that does not count the hour and a half that youths spend texting, or the half-hour they talk on their cellphones."

I wonder how long their teachers and parents are on-line? And internationally? How 'bout you?

The average young American now spends practically every waking minute — except for the time in school — using a smart phone, computer, television or other electronic device, according to a new study from the Kaiser Family Foundation.
