Second-Screen Activity On The Rise

March 10, 2016

While you’re watching “The Walking Dead, have you ever used your phone to settle an argument over the name of that actor who’s currently being pestered by zombies? Ever used your tablet to check stats during a football game?

The most common activity is to search for information about the program being watched.

From the article "Second-Screen Activity On The Rise" by Laura Hamilton.
