The Daily PollPoll: How many hours a day do you spend looking at a screen?
It’s not just children who spend much of their day looking at a screen.
RESEARCH INTO THE habits of Irish children have found the amount of time they spend looking at screens is increasing.
Among all children, typical screen-time on a weekday was reported to be one to two hours, but this increased to over three hours each day at the weekend.
The problem extends way beyond children however, with people spending more and more time staring at computer screens at work and smartphone and TV screens at home.
So between both on an average day, how much screen-time do you get?
