In an article in TIME Magazine, Kaiser Permanente conducted a survey of 8 to 18 year olds. In their research, they found:

Kids spend 52.5 hours on some form of multimedia (TV, video games, texting, etc.).
That’s 7.5 hours a day.
270 minutes watching TV.
151 minutes listening to music.
33 minutes talking on cellphones.
73 minutes playing video games.
90 minutes playing text messaging.
89 minutes on nonschool computer use time.

Wow. How do you spend your time? I have to ask myself the same question? How much time do we spend on technology in our classroom? Are we spending too much with tech instead of with our families?
