During the pandemic did our screen time to up again? Was it a permanent bump? Why do they say digital transformation accelerated 10 years in 2?

Yes! It went up about 17% between 2019 and 2021. Good question about whether the increase will be permanent -- I think we'll have to wait until the next round of data to find out, but I wouldn't be surprised if it remains higher than it was pre-pandemic.

Thanks Jacqueline.

Do these numbers include screen time at school or for virtual learning? If 8 hours includes the 3-4 hours a kid in on their laptop doing schoolwork, that reduces the "shock" quite a bit for me.

Great question! I wondered the same thing, but the questions specifically exclude any screen time that was "school-related."
