According to a Nielsen survey conducted last month, the average American now spends 68 hours per month (combined home/work usage) online. Excuse me, what? Unless I’m more of a Web addict than I thought, that strikes me as shockingly low. I want to know who, exactly, was polled here to achieve such a paltry statistic. Amish toddlers? Tibetan monks? Miley Cyrus, now that she has denounced Twitter?!
Between staying current on celebrity gossip, paying bills, virtual shopping and Facebook alone, I’m definitely spending more than a mere 2.26 hours online per day — and that’s not even factoring in work-related usage time.
What about you? How much time do you typically spend online in any given month?
