If you’ve ever been to dinner with someone constantly Googling on their phone, then you won’t be surprised by a new study that exposes our internet obsession.
The annual Communications Market Report from media and telecoms regulator Ofcom has – for the first time – looked at how people cope with spending so much time connected, finding that more than a third of UK internet users are taking “digital detox” breaks from the web. It found an increasing amount of time we spend online is leading to lost sleep, neglected housework and less time spent with friends and family.
So, what’s your relationship like with the world wide web? Do you spend too long online or have you got the balance right, and if so, how? Share your experiences with us.
