According to this video 21 year olds have watched 20,000 hours of TV, talked 10,000 hours on the pohne and spend 10,000 hours playing video games.
This would amount to approx 4.5 years. This cannot be true. Even the first figure (20,000 hours of TV) must be overstated, because when being 21 you must have watched 2.3 years of TV.

"The total average time a household watched TV during the 2005-06 season was 8 hours and 14 minutes per day, a 3-minute increase from the 2004-05 season, and a record high."
8 * 365 * 21 = 61, 320 hours / 4 (members in a household) = 15,330. That makes these numbers not -entirely- unbelievable. Here is a reference:

"While teens seem to be flocking to new media platforms, the Nielsen data showed that teens aged 12-17 viewed 3 percent more traditional television during the day last season, than they did during the 2004-05 season. The increase, Nielsen said, was driven primarily by teenage girls, who increased their total day TV viewing by 6 percent. Teen girls showed the most increase in watching TV from 6-9 a.m. and from 11:30 p.m. to 2 a.m., Nielsen said. "
