However, there is a big difference between generations: many over-fifties have no interes in the internet. For the future, TV executives are planning two different services. One service will be for the 'iPod generation', who will select what they wan't to watch on different devices (TV,mobiles,laptops) The Other service will be for the older generation who prefer traditional TV. Only one thing seems certain: our eyes will be fixed to screens"
'The problem with television is that people must sit with their eyes fixed on the screen and the average American just won't have time,' said the new york times in 1939. In those days, TV sets were toys for rich Americans: the only screen that most people saw was in the cinema. When the President made an important speech, families and neighbours sat round a single radio set
Today, there are more TV sets than people in the US. Sixty percent of children have one in their bedroom and the average American finds time to watch for four and half hours a day! But with over 2300 channels to choose from many people prefer to watch alone, rather than in a family group
And, of course, TVs are not the only screens in our lives. When the first computer appeared in 1943, the chairman of IBM was albo pessimistic. 'Worldwide, I expect to sell maybe five computers,' he said. Today, between one and two bilion people use the internet every day! The average young Briton spends three hours a day online: socialising through sites like MYSpace, watching videos on YouTube or just searching for information. And then there are video games..
When you add all this up, the average American child now consumes 8.5 hours of media every day! So how do people find the time?
Actually, it's not that bad. The total time that young people spend in front of screens hasn't increased that much. But today's teenagers are very good at 'multitasking' or doing severals things at the same time. They chat to friends while searching for information and they listen to the TV as background noise. British teenagers actually watch less TV than their parens: many prefer the internet. 'I spend much more time online than watching TV' says Saqib Khan, aged sixteen. It's more useful - you can get a lot more information"
