Despite commonly held stereotypes, seniors in the US are actually more attached to their technology than millennials.

While the younger generations are generally far more tech-savvy, the elderly win first prize for time spent in front of a screen.

According to a report by The Economist, Americans in their retirement age spend one-third more time per day in front of a screen than Americans aged 18-34. The data that The Economist cited also shows that the oldest generations spend about 10 hours per day in front of a television, computer, or smartphone, while millennials spend about seven hours doing the same.

The report revealed that the key difference here is television. The data shows that the elderly spend an average of seven-and-a-half hours in front of the TV, while the youngest generations don’t particularly care for TV any more. The young spend about four hours less on average with the TV on when compared to the elderly. When it comes to what the youngest generations are doing with their screen time, smartphones are unsurprisingly more popular for them. The young spend about three-and-a-half hours per day looking at a smartphone, while the elderly spend about two, on average. The final takeaway is that in 2019, technology addiction is hitting people regardless of their age.

When taken in moderation, watching a screen, a TV in particular, isn’t bad for you. However, according to Business Insider, the addiction criteria used for drugs and alcohol is now being applied towards technology in some instances. People often need their screen time, but moderation and self-control are the keys to not developing an unhealthy habit.
