AN ALARMING STATISTIC about Generation Z (13-29 age group): screen time.

Researchers identified the pandemic as a turning point. Their report notes that young people spent more time at home and away from friends and activities, while remote learning placed students in front of computers for hours. Importantly, the study's screen-time figures excluded the additional hours spent doing classes and homework online.

My own takeaway is that the COVID pandemic just 'hurried up' a longer term trend.
