If You Can't Sleep, Browse the Web! - New research concerning the insomniacs
By: Bogdan Popa, Security and Search Engines Editor - Softpedia
A new research conducted by Standard Life revealed that one in seven persons who can't sleep prefer to surge the Internet instead of doing anything else. Old news, I would say, as it's well known the fact that nowadays, most people browse the Internet and spend important parts of their free time on the web. According to Web User News, the insomniacs prefer to check their email and browse the webpages as their favorite activities. "An online poll found that some emailers, presumably in a rage due to a lack of shut-eye, began sending terse replies to spam emails - an activity security experts would advise against, as it only serves to confirm that your email address is geniune," the same source added.
The one who says the Internet is changing our lives is right. There are numerous technologies out there that simply turn their fans into addicted users who spend days browsing them. Look at YouTube for example. Since it was acquired by the Mountain View company, YouTube grew up a lot and became the clear leader of the category with no powerful rival to challenge it. And this especially due to the users who uploaded an impressive amount of videos which obviously attracted new viewers.
Another example is represented by the gaming industry as multiple persons died because they wanted to unblock a certain level in a game. Take World of Warcraft for instance. It is quite an addictive name and it is currently played by millions of users who spend days and nights to improve their character.
As you can see, the Internet can also have a bad influence on many of us. And because this new report reveals that most of the insomniacs prefer to browse the Internet when they can't sleep, the matter is getting more serious.
