Understanding the Multimedia Teen

There are some disturbing interesting new stats out of the Kaiser Family Foundation in Washington, DC about how 8-18 year-olds use multimedia. ReadWriteWeb has a great article on it here.

The most staggering point about the report is summarized, “[the report] found that respondents used media for an average of seven hours and 38 minutes during the survey period. However, due to multi-tasking – for instance texting while watching TV – teens actually crammed 10 hours and 45 minutes of media consumption into those approximately seven and a half hours.”

How should Christan leaders and parents respond to this level of consumption?
