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

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."

Re:who are these people?!

only people with pathetic genes that would have died in a real natural selection environment gain weight that way WHILE EATING A NORMAL 2500 CALORIE DIET. People don't just get fat, they eat fat. Every pound gained is a bare minimum of 3500 calories that they ate and didn't burn. That's one single pound! You'd have to jog for like 8 hours to burn that. Gaining weight has almost nothing to do with exercise, it's all about how much people eat. Which is easier: not eating an entire bag of chips ahoy, or getting up and exercising for 2 hours to burn the equivilant in calories? That's right, intake is about a 100x bigger factor. I do just about nothing all day and I'm only 155 pounds at 5'11" because my body doesn't turn extra calories into fat, it burns them later and makes me not hungry in the meantime...you know, like the human body is actually supposed to work before fatties with endless hunger and no self control came along. If you took even the most basic biology or health class, you know all that is exactly true and if U disagree then you're just a FAID (Fat Ass In Denial)
