Today was a light day there. Summary ------- I interact with media most using my iPhone, which I use in some way nearly all day. I receive much of my news and professional articles via Twitter, where I follow nearly 500 accounts. The television is generally on during the mornings when Miss 3 likes to watch ABC for Kids, and in the evenings when programming my wife and I enjoy is shown. Sometimes we leave the television on, tuned to ABC News 24, for news throughout the day. Time ---- Twitter: 1.5 hours Email: 5 minutes Articles: 1 hour Web: 2 hours Video: 1 hour Television: 6 hours (mostly background)
