Time spent on video technology depends on geography: Study

Not only are there marked differences between the way people from various countries consume content on TV and other screens, but a variety of age groups also consume TV dramatically differently. When comparing Millennials (those 19-to 35-years-old) to their older counterparts, considerably more consume video online and don’t consume live TV. 

Thirty-four percent of Millennials’ video time spent is online, and 41 percent on live TV, while non-Millennnials spend an average of 12 percent on online video and 59 percent on live TV in the United States, according to the Verizon Digital Media Study 2014.
