Adults and teens will spend 65 days in front of the TV, 41 days listening to radio and a little more than a week on the Internet this year, according to the newly released “Statistical Abstract of the United States” from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The abstract also projects that adults will spend about a week reading a daily newspaper, and teens and adults will spend another week listening to recorded music this year. Consumer spending for media is forecasted to be $936.75 per person.
