More Americans are spending less time with members of the households, according to the results of a study released this week.
The University of Southern California’s Center for the Digital Future found that 28 percent of Americans it interviewed last year said they have been spending less time with members of their households. In 2006, 11 percent of Americans had said the same.
Furthermore, significant percentages of Internet users said they were sometimes or often ignored because another member of the household spends too much time online 44 percent. An even higher percentage 48 percent said they were ignored because others spend too much time watching TV.
