Grant owned one slave in his life, William Jones, whom he set free in 1859. Julia had the use of four of her father's slaves. These slaves were all free by 1863. In 1864, the Grants hired one of those former slaves, whose name was also Julia, as a paid nurse.
The Ball State study found that the average American adult was exposed to five hours and nine minutes of live TV each day, almost 15 minutes of TV via a DVR device and 2.4 minutes of video on the computer.
People between ages 65 and 74 spend nearly four hours watching TV each day. And those ages 75 and older get four and a half hours of screen time. That's over an hour more than the 2.6 hours the overall population uses to view shows and movies.
