Jeff Cole, director of USC’s Center for the Digital Future:
In 1975, the average American spent 16 hours a week in front of a screen. Last year, that figure hit 34 hours and should grow to 50 hours in a few years. Much of that growth will come from mobile video , as consumers watch more TV and more video on mobile screens in general.
