In the first set of charts, we looked only at the number of times we choose a particular type of content, but that doesn't tell the whole story: A 2-minute Facebook check is not really the same thing as spending 3 hours playing a video game. Figured this way, movies/TV jump ahead of social media, and video games jump ahead of text.

II. Paid vs. Free, by content type
In the first set of runs, we had a single paid/free chart, but this gives an extra layer of information. For this run, I broke content types down into three categories-- social media, entertainment, and news/info-- and asked how many times we accessed each for free, as opposed to buying (like a book) or subscribing (like cable TV)?

III. Web vs. Storage (disk/paper) vs. Broadcast
How much news do we read on paper? How much music (and video) is streaming? I left out certain types of content that pretty much only live in one place or another-- social media are all online, and books (at least for our group) are 100 percent in storage. I left other "non-daily content" out of the picture too, because it's such a broad category-- everything from Wikipedia to Rolling Stone. Here's how the rest shakes out:
