From connecting with our friends, to listening to music, gaming, shopping, watching videos, or doing homework – a lot of our time is spent online.

Sometimes, the amount of time we spend online can even cause conflict!

We know that there are pros and cons to being online, and that includes what we are doing online, and for how long.

Research from Trinity College Dublin shows that striking the right balance in the amount of time spent online could be good for teenagers’ wellbeing.

In Part 1, Billie from the Webwise Youth Advisory Panel, spoke to Richard Layte, co-author of the study, about the background to the research and the key findings. In Part 2, they talk about whether there is a 'magic number' for the right amount of time to spend online, and what needs to be done to build on the research.
