On this issue, the greatest concern lies in past hours on these two virtual activities.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has warned that excessive use of digital media and screens can put children and teenagers at risk of obesity, sleep problems and have negative performance at school, broadcast Clancosova.tv.
But how much time do children spend in front of televisions and other technology devices?
A report published by the Common Sense Media shows that children between the ages of eight spend an average of 2 hours and 19 minutes on screens each day, most of the time watching TV and playing games without parent presence.
But when we get back a few years later, children between the ages of 8 and 12, have averaged 4 hours and 36 minutes a day on screen.
A comparison that shows that by the rapid entry of smart phones into the market, TV viewing has dropped.
In countries like Germany, 51% of children between 6 and 13 years of age report making personal phones
While in South Korea about 72% of children own a smart telephone from 11 to 12 years of age, who spend their time on it up to 4.5 hours a day
