She spends “like half the day” on her phone, 14-year-old Abigale Wolfe said with a laugh when asked about her cellphone use.
Abigale, a local student who was visiting the Mall with her parents recently, isn’t the only one. Today’s teens spend more than 71 / 2 hours a day consuming media — watching TV, listening to music, surfing the Web, social networking, and playing video games, according to a 2010 study of 8- to 18-year-olds conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation. The study also found a particular rise in time spent on mobile devices and an overall increase of about an hour and 20 minutes since 1999.
Teens today, also known as the Facebook Generation or “digital natives,” are part of the first U.S. generation to be so closely identified with technology.
