Should kids spend less time in front of screens?

The average kid sponges in 2.5 hours of music each day, almost five hours of TV and movies, three hours of Internet and video games, and just 38 minutes of old-fashioned reading, according to a new study by the Kaiser Family Foundation (abcnews.go.com).

Frankly you really shouldn't be subjected to television before the age of two. But the prime amount to spend in front of screens is nil that is practically impossible these days (unless you’re in a prison or something) because laptops are required in class in higher grades like grades 12, 11 and 10. I’m in grade 5 and yet we’re using a form of laptop called the Chromebook to do LA, German (I’m in a German bilingual school), Math, etc. Sometimes we even spend a whole computer class playing Little Alchemy and Conveyor (video games).

What I would like to know very much is how much time you spend time in front of screens?
How much time in front of screens do you think would be the best (counting by hours)?


At what age did you start watching screens?
