Yahoo! News reports that a new global survey shows that netizens are far from the geeky stereotype of earlier compting days:
The typical Internet user -- far from being a geek -- shuns television and actively socializes with friends, a study on surfing habits said Wednesday. he findings of the first World Internet Project report present an image of the average Netizen that contrasts with the stereotype of the loner "geek" who spends hours of his free time on the Internet and rarely engages with the real world .Instead, the typical Internet user is an avid reader of books and spends more time engaged in social activities than the non-user, it says. And, television viewing is down among some Internet users by as much as five hours per week compared with Net abstainers, the study added.I'm not sure about the less TV aspect--maybe during the dreadful Aussie summer season--but I certainly think Net-users are getting more and more socialible. Systems like IRC, ICQ and messengers all scream sociability, not seclusion, so a super social web world it is! :)
