Second Screens, Multitasking, and Screen Real Estate: The What, When, and Where of Screen Time

We used to fret over our kids’ time spent in front of a screen. Now they’re a little bit older, and we get to worry over their time spent in front of multiple screens. We had so much fun discussing an article from Wired about second screening, third screening, and even fourth screening. Are we, as grown ups, surrounding ourselves with more than one screen at a time? How do we feel about our kids doing the same?

This week’s Screen Time in the News article is “Forget Screen Time. We Need to Talk About Screen Real Estate” by Angela Watercutter in Wired. 

Here’s the cord hider we talked about in this episode. Listeners, have you used something like this? 

What our kids are watching or what we’re watching with them:

• Nailed It
• Beyblade X
• Nugget is Dead

What we’re watching during grown-up screen time:

• Slow Horses
• Drops of God
