Brits prefer the Internet to TV
Mar 10, 2006

The British are spending more time on the Internet than on watching television, an AFP report, citing a Google-commissioned survey, said.
According to AFP, the report revealed that British Internet users spent an average of 164 minutes online daily, the equivalent of 41 days a year, as compared to 148 minutes watching television.
Men spent on average 172 minutes on the Web daily, and women 156 minutes, the report said.
Londoners and Scots were the most dedicated Internet users among the 1,030 adults aged 16-64 that the TNS Institute surveyed last month, the report further said.
The report said a major online activity was shopping, which accounted for an average annual spend of 446 pounds ($780) per user.
The increasing use of computers at the workplace coupled with improved technology allowing broadband connections in private homes were the main reasons for the Internet's domination, the report said.
British telecom regulator Ofcom last month noted a slight drop in television audiences since late 2003, the report said.
