That is a little disturbing. Keep in mind, these are the averages for each state. There are plenty of folks that spend way more time online. Also keep in mind, that video games and television were a separate calculation, so it is very easily conceivable that these numbers could be closer to twice the national average (possibly even higher than that). Television screens after all are in fact, still a screen, as are smartphones and tablets.

The Cowboy State is better as whole, as we have plenty of outdoor activities throughout all four seasons, like hunting, skiing and snowboarding. That being said, I know I'm guilty of spending at least two hours a day, outside of work, looking at my phone, usually scrolling through social media and probably another two to three hours watching television or streaming movies.
