Just because seniors have the screen on more hours per day, it doesn't necessarily mean they're reading any less than they ever did. My mother tuns her TV on when she wakes up, then putters around the house (and outside of it). If you just count the time the TV is on, it looks like she's watching TV all day. She may stop in and watch a few minutes of this and a few of that. And maybe in the evening, she'll watch a couple of shows all the way through.
