Is The Internet More Popular Than Television?

    According to a new study by IDC, consumers spend twice as much time using the internet as watching television. http://xrl.us/bgqbh

    But does that really mean that the internet is twice as popular as television? Apparently so. I had never really thought about it before, but you do you see a lot more people carrying around laptops than portable televisions. And because of the nature of my business, I personally spend considerably more time on the internet than watching television - and so does nearly everyone else I know. So the internet gets my vote.

    What about you? Do you spend more time on the internet or watching television?

    2 years ago I spend more time on television, but lately everything I do is use the pc to access the web wether to read the news or watch some movies.

    I spend more time on the internet. But that's mainly due to not being able to understand any TV here, as it's all in Turkish.

    Allah Allah.

    I work in my room and watch TV( vh1, mcm ).. together, so I thinkTV has its own space and internet has its own.
