I think people that see these numbers as low does not realize that tons of people don’t work in front of a screen full-time, and the average would include children and the elderly
I don’t think this these numbers include work at all. Because none of the articles the graphic is based on mention work at all, nor do their sources it seems. And also, the sources talk about “time spent connected to the internet”, so streaming would count, but not TV, which is also a screen. So average real screen time could be even higher.
I’d be curious what the original data was from, the link just says DataReportal.com ?
Japan: the lowest screen time in Asia and Oceania (also the world)
Yeah, I’m wondering who they surveyed. Salarymen vs housewives vs retirees would have completely different answers tbh.
One also wonders how the questions asked were phrased. And how they interpreted responses of, “E, chotto . . .” and other “telling the truth would be rude” circumlocutions.
I love how it sais that South Africa has the highest and Egypt has the lowest screen time of Africa, while they are the only countries in Agrica with Data.
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes…
Based on the colour, it looks like us south Africans still spend tons of time on our phones.
I mean, 8 hours just for work. If you count all screens I probably spend like 14 hours a day starring “on screens”.
Yeah, not sure how the average is less than 8 hours. That’s insane back-to-nature primitivism shit
Well, that’s certainly a color scheme.
I kinda like how gross it is. More things should strive to look gross.
Yeah what ever happens to cold-to-hot colors?
I’m very surprised that south America has much higher screen time than north America
Yeah I dont understand this. Only thing I can think is that news is more TV in the north and more phone based on south?
Graphic design is my passion
Fuckin Iryna at it again
Japan so low because they are dead in bed before they can open their phone or what?
Japan is only 3:45 hours? How? Are those salarymen working 12hrs per day in front of their computers not counted? Or is it offset by kids not allowed to use smartphones at school?
I think japan still uses a lot of paper in the administrative side of things, that could bring it down too. Still seems like a data collection issue based on how much of an outlier it is.
The average American works more hours than the average Japanese oddly enough.
So, TV isn’t a screen according to this, right?
Wtf how is the high end 9 hours? That’s just my time at work. It doesn’t even include the commute, reading the news, and talking with friends.
