Yesterday I found an interesting Internet article. It was about the media consumption of ‘millennials’, which means that these people were born between 1981 and 2001. The article told us how millennials are spending their time on the different kinds of media.
The least popular medium is the printed one, that comes with 2.9 hours a week. This is followed by radio (4.1 hours) and television (11.4 hours). 37,6 hours are spent on the Internet, what I think is interesting. It means that millennials spend nearly thirteen times more of time on the Internet than on reading books and magazines! I don’t think that the figure is surprisingly (f.e., a friend of mine sits in front of his computer the whole day). In addition to that the Internet is full of violence and has too much targeted advertise, so that in my opinion you have to use it carefully.
The total of 56 hours of media consumption every week is also very high. It means 8 hours per day. This doesn’t leave much time to do sports or other hobbies like music. I don’t think that this is healthy.
After the cold snap, which had started before Christmas, the people were surprised by a snowstorm. The low-pressure system Daisy causes a travel chaos, icy roads and power cuts. It was a freezing cold and with the wind chill factor it feels colder at that. There were heavy snowfalls and many airplanes couldn’t take-off because of the blizzard.The travel chaos continued to affect the train and road services.
