Slashdot already has this link, but some information bears as wide distribution as possible! CNN reports on a study that says avid Net users watch less TV but aren’t geeky hermits at all:
The typical Internet user is an avid reader of books and spends more time engaged in social activities than the non-user, it says. And, television viewing is down among some Internet users by as much as five hours per week compared with Net abstainers, the study added.
“Use of the Internet is reducing television viewing around the world while having little impact on positive aspects of social life,” said Jeffrey Cole, director of the UCLA Center for Communication Policy, the California university that organized the project. |
