This poll doesnt take into account that with the Internet, you can pass time, send emails check the news and use a search engine all at the same time.

Isn't Pew the organization that was bragging after the fact that they manufactured "public opinion" where people were clammoring for campaign finance "reform?" If it's the same group, their reputation should be about the same as CBS News for honesty.

The group said that, along with greater broadband penetration, part of the reason for leisurely Web surfing is an increase in content. They continued, "But let's face it, the main reason is, well, have you seen the crap that's on television?

Within 5 minutes of waking in the am:
Log on to FreeRepublic.com to check for overnight pings or zots that need a reply.
Check the daily weather for what to wear.
Lunch: Check FreeRepublic.com for the latest news.
Go back to work.
After work:Check FreeRepublic.com for what happened in the world while I was at work........
See, I have a good reason. Its not just passing time. I dont just browse because its set as my home page and I dont have to click on anything except "New Posts to You" and "Reload", occationally "Smokey Backroom".

I can't speak for the internet as a whole...but freepers try to surf the intellectual wave. We wait for an article of substance and we push our reactions forward...if we catch the wave (get a response or at least have some tiny readership), we have done our job.
Life is about the evolution of ideas. Weak and infirmed ideas fall and are devoured by stronger and more incisive thoughts. And then those stronger thoughts find themselves defending the higher ground.
Almost like "singularity"...but more like the bloody plains of primal Africa...but of ideas this time. The survival of the fittest."
I suggest it is time for islam to come onto this field...let's see how it performs!
