Internet Use Cuts Socializing Time

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the something's-gotta-give dept.

Sammy at Palm Addict writes "A new survey published in the New York Times states that using the internet has seriously cut into our socializing time. We spend less time watching TV and more time using the internet and following up email. 'The survey found that use of the Internet has displaced television watching and a range of other activities. Internet users watch television for one hour and 42 minutes a day, compared with the national average of two hours.'"

    Geez. Hasn't anyone been outside? Ghetto thugs standing in the street with a hand in their pants...

    Stay home. Buy porn. Masturbate. It's better than what's outside.
