Has the Internet Made You More Productive?
February 17, 2009
Most say, “Yes.”
A survey conducted by the University of Southern California Annenberg School found a majority of US users thought the Internet had made them more productive.
From 2000 to 2007, a increasing number of users believed in Internet productivity. Respondents who said the Internet had improved their productivity “a lot” or “somewhat” were at 57% in 2000, but jumped to 71% in 2007.
According to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, 28% of Americans have Internet access at work. The majority of those are between the ages of 30 and 49, are college graduates and earn more than $75,000 annually.
What are US workers doing online?
A Nielsen Online survey found that US workers averaged 67 online sessions and spent approximately 89 hours online per month. They visited 131 different domains, viewing each site for a minute, on average.
