Where Data Tells the Story

It may surprise you to know that, on average, people spend 6 hours and 40 minutes per day on screens.
From phones and laptops to TVs and tablets, screens now dominate modern life, but not everywhere.
Exploring countries by average daily screen time reveals where people spend the most time and how digital habits differ across nations.
What seems odd about this ranking is that South Africa is at the top of the list, even ahead of countries often considered more digital. Having more than 9 hours of daily screen time puts it far above the global average.
Another noticeable pattern is the strong presence of Latin American countries close to the top.
Countries such as Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, and Chile rank high, indicating that social media, mobile internet use, and entertainment play significant roles in daily life across these nations.
We can also observe that some developing or middle-income countries rank higher than advanced economies.
