Why we go online...

Study confirms many of us go online for no reason

December 03, 2011


NEW YORK (AP) — For anyone who needed official word, a new study confirms that many of us — and the majority of young adults — go online for no good reason at all.

The report from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project found that on any given day, 53 percent of 18 to 29 year-olds go online just to have fun or pass time.

That should explain all those kitten videos.

The report finds that the amount of time people spend tooling around on the Web doing nothing corresponds with age. Only 12 percent of people over 65 say they went online the previous day for no particular reason. Of those aged 50 to 64, the study found 27 percent answered yes to the same question.

In all, 58 percent of all adults said that they use the Internet to pass time or have fun at least occasionally. Of adults who use the Internet, nearly three-quarters surf the Web for no reason.

The survey didn't define "fun," so people could interpret it broadly. For some people, gossip blogs might be fun, for others, they're serious research.

Pew is releasing the study on Friday. The phone survey was conducted from July 25 to Aug. 26 among 2,260 American adults.

actually, i'm glad i'm not included in this survey.  i belong to the remaining percent that said no, like fr chic.  rather than pass the time, i make use of my time.  kaayo ra nga naa koy oras para mo-online.  daginoton baya tag oras.

i've learned much by going online; i've learned much from tb.  it's nice to know that there are people from whom i can learn much who happen to be from anywhere in the world but with whom i share a common bond called bohol.  i wouldn't call that passing time.  rather, it is time well spent.

Kalami sa term nga mopakli. Sige, ako sad or ang akoa sad, "nipakli ug gamay'mg kalipay" sa dili pa matapos ang usa ka mabulokong adlaw nga hatag ug grasya sa Ginoo kanako. Nanghinaot nga kini pagadad-on ngadto sa akong pagkatulog ug mamahimong usa usab ka mabulokong damgo.  8)
