In the 50’s, we had the nuclear family, 2.3 children that were always successful at school, a dog who always caused enough problems to be noticed but never anything that would make you lose your smile, a successful husband, and a wife who always had dinner ready with the latest and greatest meal. Now-a-days, the modern family looks a little differently and the gadgets seem to be a big focal point of this difference.
The infographic below did a study of 2,000 Brits, but it would seem very accurate for most of North America and I am sure many other first world cultures.
How do you compare to the “average modern family?”
Here are some of the most interesting parts:
- The average family owns 2 TVs and watchs 5.2 hours of TV a day.
- Kids go to bed on average at 8PM and parents at 10:30PM.
- The average family owns three 6 different tech items and two cars.
