Internet Users Now Spending An Average Of 13 Hours A Week Online

[george]

A new Harris Poll finds that adult Internet users are now spending an average of 13 hours a week online. Of course, people's usage varies greatly; one in five (20%) of adult Internet users are online for only two hours or less a week while one in seven (14%) are spending 24 or more hours a week online.

Over the years the average hours spent online have increased from 7 hours in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002, to between 8 and 9 hours in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. In 2007, it increased to 11 hours. Last year (in October after the financial crisis broke and before the presidential election) Internet users were online for 14 hours a week, double what it was from 1999 to 2002.

I wonder what the average per week is for heavy users of Thaivisa.com? Probably a tad more than 13 hours. (grin)
