According to the Common Sense census, 78 percent of the time teens spend on their electronic devices is devoted to “passive” and “interactive” consumption. These categories include “watching, listening, reading, and playing with media content created by someone else.” Young people only spend about 3 percent of their digital time in “content creation.” This would include things like real writing, taking a creative photograph, composing a song, coding, or any of the other mentally stimulating activities technology has to offer.
