Bob: Hi, Ella! Long time to see. How are you?
Ella: Oh, hi, Bob! I am fine, thanks. How about you?
Bob: I am fine too, thank you. 
Look, Bob, I saw your younger brother Jake the other day, and he looked down in the dumps. What’s up? Did he get a bad mark at school?
Bob: He is grounded because he spent too much time online. Now mom and dad have decided he can spend no more than two hours a day online, though he is not happy about it. He is constantly moaning and groaning about not being able to play his favorite online games anymore.
Ella: Oh, I understand. Two hours online a day sounds reasonable to me. How much time did Jake used to spend online?
Bob: Sometimes he spent up to eleven hours online.
Ella: That is incredible! I can’t believe it.
Bob: When mom and dad put together all the time he spends on his mobile phone, computer, games console, or watching TV, they could not believe their eyes either. It’s more hours than they are awake outside school time, after all. 
Ella: I don’t think Jake is the only teenager who spends so much time online.I wonder how they are able to do this. I mean, there are only twenty-four hours in a day, you know.
Bob: I think the answer is multi-tasking. Jake seems to have been multitasking every second that he was online. He was doing his homework at the same time as watching a TV show or chatting to friends online and reading reviews of the latest film releases.
Ella: I think it is not easy to do that. It must be causing a lot of stress.
Bob: Well, he has been complaining about headaches for a long time. 
Ella: I also think it should cause some problems with concentration. When you are watching a film and texting a friend at the same time, you are not doing any of these properly. 
Bob: Jake’s teachers say he sometimes struggles to focus his attention. 
Ella: Still, such high levels of media use are now part of young people’s environment. I don’t think anyone can talk them out of doing so.
Bob: Well, mum and dad are optimistic about the whole thing. They understand we are all going to have a hard time with Jake at first, but they do hope things will change for the better pretty soon.
Ella: Well, Bob, I hope they are right. Look, are you doing anything at the weekend? There is a new comedy on. Do you feel like watching it at the cinema together?
Bob: That’s a good idea. I’ll give you a ring on Friday, and we’ll discuss the day and time.
Ella: It’s a date then!
