Modern times

According to The Guardian (here), we are spending too much time on the internet:
"We may be known as a nation of couch potatoes, but it seems that Britons are grasping the 21st century with both hands: we now spend more time watching the web than watching television, according to internet giant Google.
A survey conducted on behalf of the search engine found that the average Briton spends around 164 minutes online every day, compared with 148 minutes watching television. That is equivalent to 41 days a year spent surfing the web: more than almost any other activity apart from sleeping and working."

More importantly, if time on the tv and internet are added together, it amounts to more than 5 hours a day being wasted. Get a life, people!
