New study [1] blows several myths out of the water by showing that the younger you are the less TV you watch:
“The older you get, the more you watch, according to a report due out today from Deloitte indicating that “Millennials,” the generation of 14- to 25-year-olds, watches just 10.5 hours of TV a week. That compares to 15.1 hours for those belonging to Generation X (ages 26-42), 19.2 hours for Baby Boomers (43-61) and 21.5 hours for Matures (62-75). Lest one assume Millennials are shunning broadcast and cable in favor of watching DVDs on their TV screens — they’re not. They spend less time watching DVDs of movies and TV shows on television sets, 4.8 hours a week, than do Gen Xers.”
