Teens Spend 31 Hours Online Per Week

In its recent study of British teens, research group Cyber Sentinel has concluded that teens spend some 31 hours per week online, or 4.4 hours per day. They apparently spend 3.5 hours a week instant messaging their friends, two hours on YouTube, and three hours a week on "homework help," which we're guessing means "research" and not "blatant plagiarism."
It's also worth noting that these teens spend a rather bountiful one hour and forty minutes a week looking at porn. That breaks down to about fifteen minutes a day, which breaks down to a lot of quite a lot of used tissues. At least you now know where they've all been going, mom. [From: Crunch Gear]

Too much of anything is not good. We use video and online games as a reward (AFTER the chores are done). He would spend every breathing second online gaming World of Warcraft and watching YouTube video, if we would not limit his time spent online. Hopefuly, we built a simple Internet Timer http://www.internettimer.net With the help of this tool I can restrict and set times when the computer can be accessed and my son has no choice than to accept the rules. And parents should not forget that children who spent more time on the Internet, playing games spent less time socializing, communicated less within the family and felt more lonely and depressed.
