I think this is an interesting topic, but I have my doubts about the methodology of this study: > Kaiser double counts time spent multitasking. If a child spends an hour simultaneously watching TV and surfing the Internet, the researchers counted two hours. It sounds to me that the so-called increase could be explained simply by the addition of the internet, or ever present cell phones. If the average poor person watched 3 hours a day of television in 1999, but now occasionally sends a text or browses facebook during ads, it's now 6 hours? 10 years ago I noted an inverse correlation between socio-economic status and time spent watching TV; now it's Facebook instead. Plus ça change, etc.
