The Average Person Will Spend 22 YEARS Of Their Life in Front of a ‘Screen’

I mean, you KNOW you get a lot of 'screentime' in during the day....but do you know how much?

Some researchers have done the math and figured that you’ll spend an average of 22 YEARS OF YOUR LIFE staring at your phone, a computer, or the TV.

So, how did the heck did they come up with this INSANE number?!

They asked Americans how much time per day we spend looking at a ‘screen’ - and found that 42% of our waking hours (about 6 hours and 43 minutes a day) are spent in front of some sort of technology (which, in and of itself is crazy when you stop to think about it).

Now, factor in the fact that the average life expectancy is 78 years...

Crunch some numbers... and you'll spend the equivalent of 7,956 days staring at a screen  - which is a little less than 22 years of your life.

UNLESSSSSSSSSSS you’re living on the edge and scrolling through Facebook while doing the Bird Box Challenge...then you’re ok.

I hate that I have to point out that the last part was a joke, but I do, otherwise someone will email me saying that I’m telling the world that it’s OK to be on the computer with a blindfold on...so, relax and don’t take the following picture very seriously at all.

But seriously...that just cut at LEAST 15-second off of today’s daily total and a win is a win.
