I forced myself into a blogging vacation this week, for a reason that will become clear by the end of this post, but this was too interesting to pass up.

We now log an average of 9.7 hours each day consuming media. Some experts say we’re at the saturation point.

Wow, that’s 3,540 hours per year we sit on our ass looking at a computer, reading, watching television, DVDs, movies, and listening to music. Incredible. What a testament to the society we have created where people have this much time to do things that are basically non-productive in the traditional sense of the word.

The interesting part was that I read this after pretty much leaving my laptop alone for the week because I was feeling saturated.
