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. :)

    As a matter of fact, I'm such a social Internet user, that ten minutes I emailed cowboy neal to tell him that this story is a dupe! Of course it somehow made it out of the Mysterious Future anyway. Great job, Cowboy Neal!!

    Then you might spot the dupes before they happen!
    Or get enough friends to back you up when you dupe!

    And they do often copy themself because it is so easy to do online

    But not in slashdot. Because there it just make a "This exact comment has already been posted. Try to be more original..."

  6. It's a dupe by TheOnlyCoolTim · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So there's two stories about some bore ass study but not one story about the fact that goatse.cx has been censored. What the fuck? I know there have to be about 300,000 submissions about the goatse story too. Are the editors in denial of goatse man? He's just a guy with a big anus. You get over seeing it pretty soon.
