Internet Users Are More Social Than Non-Users

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the news-to-me dept.

FePe writes "The UCLA World Internet Project has concluded from a study that Internet users spend more time on social activites than non-users. Many other interesting facts can be seen on the page. For example, in the United States 73.1 percent of men use the Internet compared to 69 percent of woman." Also interesting is how net users watch less television than their offline counterparts. Update: 01/16 03:46 GMT by M : Yep, pretty much the same story as yesterday. To be fair, Cowboyneal did say it was news to him. :)

    Congratulations, Slashdot. I read this article on CNN like, a week ago. Could you BE any slower in posting stories to the front page? Meanwhile during my work-day I have to twiddle my fucking thumbs without any god damned Slashdot reading because you lazy-arsed editors are sleeping on the other side of the pacific. Don't be so god damned US-Centric; post stories with fair regularity so no matter WHERE you are, you can get a healthy dosage of procrastination-enabling reading material. Plus, you'll get news posted WHILE THEY ARE STILL TIMELY!
    If you don't like it, get the FUCK off the (global) Internet, you fucking AmeriKKKan editors. :p

    How's THAT for sociable, you filthy hippies!

    ...when people start saying something in the topic of their comment, and then finish it in the body?

    If you'd use some common sense, things like this wouldn't have to be explained to you.
