Social Side-Effects Of Internet Use

venicebeach writes "The World Internet Project has released its third annual report on internet usage. It contains few surprises, but lots of interesing stats - for example the most experienced internet users spend an average of 15.8 hours online per week. CNN is running a story on the social findings - "New study shatters Internet 'geek' image." Apparently they are suprised to hear that internet users are more social than non-users: internet users watch less television, read more books and engage in more social activities."

    People who support Dennis Kucinich are overwhelmingly bad of breath and small of penis, even the females. Grow the fuck up.

    half an hour of CNN = 30 minutes of US propaganda.... no thanks. I only watch CNN news when I want a good laugh. Try watching BBC world news for something a little more intelligent.
