>"Americans spend an average of 12 and a half hours per day consuming media"
Somebody has a problem with basic math. If person works 8 hours and sleeps another 8 there is only 8 hours left. Assuming said person spends their free time doing nothing but "consuming media"
What fraction of the day do you spend away from a networked electronic device of some kind? For me, it's not much. Even while I'm at work or reading a paper book, I usually listen to streamed music. Generally, I unplug only when I sleep.
