Users Spending Even More Time on Internet
Americans are spending more time online, on both a daily and weekly basis. At-home access far outstripped at-work access time in 2008, according to Harris Interactive. Expect both trends to continue in 2009, as a hefty percentage of unemployed people use the Internet to find jobs or additional training or education, and adults who are worried about the economic and international news check in more frequently.
At-home usage saw a more dramatic surge during that time, according to the USC Annenberg School Center for the Digital Future. Their yearly survey found that US Internet users spent an average of 15.3 hours per week online in 2007, compared with about 9 hours the year before.
