screentime
Device viewing duration
Screentime is the amount of time spent looking at electronic displays—televisions, computers, phones, tablets.
The term emerged with concerns about children's media consumption and has expanded to adult usage: I'm trying to reduce my screentime.
Parents monitor screentime; apps track it; health experts debate its effects.
Also spelled as two words: screen time.
