65% of Americans Spend More Time With Their PC Than SO

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can't-talk-now-honey-i'm-clearing-auchindoun dept.

Ant writes "PR Newswire reports that 65 percent of consumers are spending more time with a computer than with their significant other (SO). The "Cyber Stress" study confirmed consumers' growing relationship with technology in their everyday lives. In fact, more than 8 out of 10 Americans (84%) say they are more dependent on their home computer now than they were just three years ago."

    (For my part, I'm still not convinced we're not dealing with a slashvertisement.) Um, the PR Newswire credit was all I needed to know it was a slashvertisement.

    Yeah, I work with Ad/PR agencies. Anything on Newswire is bought, paid for then copied & pasted as "news" around the globe. That's the point.
