4 Hours and 51 Minutes Every Day. How Much Is Too Much?

Too much TV is a bad thing. How much is too much? We spotted this stat today:

"Nielsen’s Total Audience Report highlighted the continuing, precipitous fall in live television watching, which was particularly pronounced among younger audiences. Adults spent an average of 4 hours and 51 minutes watching live television per day in the fourth quarter of 2014, down 13 minutes from the same period a year earlier."

That is live TV. How about total screen time per day? Seriously. Let's not even go there.

Statspotting is a game now: the day's most striking numbers from the news, and how big they really are.
