As an ITP alum put it:

I kind of think of it a bit like this:

“By the age of eighteen, the average child is estimated to have watched more than 16,000 hours of television – more time than he has spend in school” (pgs.12-13).

This entry was actually saved as a draft last year (February 2010) and lost. Still a worthwhile article to read:

—————————————-

A couple of weeks ago, I read an article in the NY Times titled “If Your Kids Are Awake, They’re Probably Online. It starts by saying “The average young American now spends practically every waking minute — except for the time in school — using a smart phone, computer, television or other electronic device.” Then it goes on to say “Those ages 8 to 18 spend more than seven and a half hours a day with such devices, compared with less than six and a half hours five years ago, when the study was last conducted. And that does not count the hour and a half that youths spend texting, or the half-hour they talk on their cellphones.

And because so many of them are multitasking — say, surfing the Internet while listening to music — they pack on average nearly 11 hours of media content into that seven and a half hours.”

Presenting – Arduino: The Documentary…!
Of course – a lot of this appears to have been shot at ITP.

My first unknown spotting submitted to noah (networked organisms and habitats) and it got identified within an hour or so

Noah is a citizen science project that was created by some friends at ITP as their thesis and it’s awesome! You can download the app in the iTunes store for free. For more info, check it.

Well – there are a lot of reasons, but this is definitely one of them. Bunch of saps we are.
