How much time the world spends staring at screens

• Kleiner Perkins investor Mary Meeker's annual presentation on internet trends is always worth reading in full, which you can do below. But one chart in her new report particularly caught our eye because it's all about glass.
• As we've argued, media are best understood as a competition for attention on glass-panelled devices connected to the internet. Phones, tablets, PCs, television sets—it's all just glass. But, of course, it does matter what kinds of glass are attracting more attention.
• Meeker's chart breaks that down nicely‚ with the added benefit of explaining that the situation varies widely across countries. The US and UK, for instance, are quite different from Vietnam and Saudi Arabia. Or even just looking at Indonesia and the Philippines, which spend the most time staring at screens, provides an interesting comparison.
