what is the average amount of time a person watches tv
Nielsen also says gaming consoles are becoming a bigger video medium, though the numbers remain small. As in years past, we watch more TV as we get older. Children 2-11 watch an average of 24 hours of TV a week, or 31/2 hours a day. That number dips to 22 hours for teens, ages 12-17, then goes back up to 25 for 18-24s. After that it rises steadily until people over 65 average 48 hours a week, or nearly seven hours a day.
