Chinwag's Old Blog: 60% of Users Depend on Internet
Ask someone how they found out information about their latest holiday and it's increasingly likely they'll have used the Internet. Heck, even my Dad's at it and he only started using a computer in the last couple of years. According to a recent survey by Churchill Insurance, 60% of us depend daily on the Internet.
Some other titbits from the research:
- 13% of users have been late or cancelled a meeting because they were surfing
- 33% claim email as their main use is emailing colleagues, friends and family
- Almost 20% use the Internet for shopping
- 25% of users look after their finances online
