screen addiction

I have often thought that it was kind of weird how much time we spend looking at various screens throughout the day. It’s like you go from screen to screen until you go to sleep. At work you may stare at a computer screen for many (tedious) hours until you finally get to leave to go home and stare at your television screen, taking breaks to glance down at your cell phone screen to see the time or read a text message...it’s weird.

Stephen King wrote an interesting article about “Screen Addiction” in the last issue of Entertainment Weekly. I guess there was a study that found that the average American adult spends 8.5 hours a day staring at various screens. THAT’S CRAZY.

That’s all. Happy Monday, let the screen staring begin…
