Stuff we do all day: Traditional mass media (TV and movies) hugely dominates leisure time

The New York Times has an amazing interactive infographic showing what the average American is doing all day. What's astonishing to me is how much time is spent on TV and movies. Where's surfing the web in there? =)

Much has been made about new media, but we've got to be realistic, I guess. Traditional media is not going away. Not when it's a big red band that takes up an incredible amount of time -- even more than eating and socializing and household activities combined

You can play with this cool infographic here.

Funny. I haven't watched TV in months. I haven't watched it regularly for years. Moat of my time is spent in front of a laptop on the Internet.
