Modern man consumes 34 GB of media content per day
A strange study conducted by scientists from the University of California. They calculated the amount of media content that every American "consumes", including television, websites, radio, newspapers, and so on.
The average American takes 11.8 hours of information per day. During this time, it “digests” 100,500 words and 34 gigabytes of audiovisual information. If we count by the number of words, almost half is generated by television.
')
But if we take it in terms of data volume, then 55% of the content consumed is computer games.
The amount of information consumed for each person grows by an average of 5.4% per year.
PS I specifically downloaded the original of this study ( PDF ) to check how they considered the size of the “consumed” video in gigabytes. It turns out that scientists knowingly eat their own bread and have developed a very sophisticated method: for each of the 20 categories of content, its weight was estimated. For example, standard TV was rated at 4 Mbps, HDTV at 7.2 Mbps, DVD players at 5 Mbps, etc. They did not consider Blu-ray players.
Scientists estimate the traffic through the brain during Internet surfing at 100 Kbps.
Here are the numbers for the other categories.
