Pew Report: The internet as a diversion and destination

The internet as a diversion and destination – On a typical day, 53% of young adults go online just for fun and to pass the time, by Lee Rainie. December 2, 2011

  • “Americans are increasingly going online just for fun and to pass the time. On any given day, 53% of all the young adults ages 18-29 go online for no particular reason except to have fun or to pass the time. Many of them go online in purposeful ways, as well. But the results of a survey by the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project show that young adults’ use of the internet can at times be simply for the diversion it presents. Indeed, 81% of all young adults in this age cohort report they have used the internet for this reason at least occasionally.”
