time, not time with the family
NEW YORK (AP) — A new survey suggests
that the Internet is not cutting into the time people
spend with their friends and families — it is cut
ting into their TV-watching.
Internet users watched 4.5 hours less of televi
sion a week than Americans who do not go online,
according to the study, released Thursday by the
University of California at Los Angeles.
“Without question, Internet users are ‘buying’
some of their time to go online from the time
they used to spend watching television,” said Jeff
Cole, director of the UCLA Center for
Communication Policy.
Internet users socialized with friends slightly
more than nonusers did, and they spent nearly as
much time socializing with family, the study found.
Users and non users spent about the same
amount of time on most household activities, like
having meals and playing sports.
The exception was television. Nonusers spent
16.8 hours a week watching television, versus
12.3 hours for Internet users.
The telephone survey of 2,006 U.S. households
was conducted from May to July. It has a margin
of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The
study was funded partly by the National Science
Foundation.
Among other findings:
• More than 72 percent of Americans have
Internet access, up from 67 percent in 2000.
• Users spent 9.8 hours a week online, up from
9.4 hours.
