Americans Giving Up Social Life for the Web

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Americans Giving Up Social Life for the Web

Stony Stevenson writes "A survey into how the Web affects American adults has found that surfing the net has become an obsession for many, with the majority of U.S. adults feeling they cannot go for a week without going online and one in three giving up friends and sex for the Web. The survey asked 1,011 American adults how long they would feel OK without going on the Web and found that 15 percent said just a day or less, 21 percent said a couple of days and another 19 percent said a few days. It also found that 20 percent said they spend less time having sex because they are online."

I can go about 3 days. After that, I get the shakes.

:P

Yeah. For most, it is just part of the gig, whatever gig it may be. I know of very few jobs whereby the Internet isn't involved to some extent.
