Teens now spend more time online then in front of the TV and part of the TV watching is only as background to being online.
Teens and young adults almost universally engage in other media-related activities while they’re online: Some 68% listen to CDs or MP3s; 50% watch TV; 45% talk on the phone; 45% listen to the radio; 45% do homework; 21% read. Only 5% of those surveyed said they do nothing else while they’re online.
