Wired Americans spend nearly half their day online — splitting that time almost evenly between watching videos or TV shows and working, browsing and shopping, according to a new survey.
“This new survey was eye-opening,” said Eric Bruno, senior vice president of product management for Optimum, whose telecommunications firm interviewed 2,000 US residents who have a home Internet subscription with any company for the poll.
“We were amazed to see how many hours folks are watching, shopping and browsing online on a daily basis,” Bruno told The Post.
“It underscores how important a strong, affordable, and reliable Internet has become in today’s world.”
On average, screen-zombie Americans spend more than 10 hours daily accessing the Web.
They spend 5.4 of those hours browsing, working, gaming, looking at social media, reading email or paying bills, the survey found.
They spend another five hours streaming video or TV content.
A majority of the people — 55% — use their television to stream shows or movies, followed by 20% with mobile phones and 25% combined using laptop or desktop computers or tablets.

I get most of my news here and TMZ
It’s a virtual world out there these days.
If I’m not here, I’m in the shower.
“..who this Epstein feller is....”
THAT’s what I want to know.
Who was Epstein really?
Half their day online? It’s not like I’m sitting here on a Sunday evening reading and posting. oh, wait...

Probably true. I conduct business, pay bills, buy groceries, get news, watch TV streams and also play games online. The internet has truly revolutionized life. For me, it’s a matter of convenience. Now, it I could just find a way for it to clean my house I’d be set!
He had his hands in other pies, too. I’d like to know just exactly what other proclivities he was involved with.
Lol

Speaking of the shower....when are they coming out with waterproof cell phones?
What is truly frightening is that if for some reason the internet was turned off tomorrow ...it would be an almost extinction level event. Millions would starve. We wouldn’t be able to function. Incredible when think that only 40 years ago it really didn’t exist.
Indeed.
Hopefully soon, along with waterproof tablets and laptops.
‘I get most of my news here’
You’re not alone.
Guilty. I work and play online with maybe an hour in the vegetable garden. Touch grass? No, weeds.
Sounds far-fetched. /rimshot
nahhh, we lived without it (or I have)before. It’s a convenience to me, not a necessity.
Damn that Free Republic!
