It's 10:30 pm, and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly,
a
loud
noise
wakes
him
up.
Naturally,
Brandon
reaches
for
his
cell
phone.
The
message
becomes clear: "R U awake?"
Brandon' s use of technology doesn' t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and
three video-game consoles (

) in his room. With so many choices, it' s no
surprise that when he isn' t at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using
one or more of these devices Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study
by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending more time than ever
before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a
day on average, the study found.
The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria
Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell
phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.
Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. " If you鈥檝e got
a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on
in the background, why not?" media expert Cheryl Olson says.
Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids
could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with
friends. " It' s a matter of balance," says Olson." You鈥檝e got to work on it. "
Multitasking
while
doing
homework
is
another
concern.
Some
kids
listen
to
music,
watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. "It' s important to make sure
that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply, " says Rideout.
With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology
use in check is more important than ever. " Kids should try," adds Rideout. " But
parents might have to step in sometimes. "
