The Internet as a Diversionby Aaron Smith, PewInternet (Sep 10, 2009)
Anyone who has wandered off online following interesting articles or watching cat videos knows that the Internet is a diversion.
"Three-quarters of online economic users--those Americans who use the internet to keep up with news about the economic recession or their own personal finances--go online to relax and take their minds off of the recession, according to an April 2009 survey by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project."
About half of all online users relax with online videos and music.
