This result is misleading and can't really be applied to everyone. Online resources differ from person to person, occupation to occupation. Many universities conduct online lectures and online tests. It's not fair to lump it this way.

I'm guessing the findings refer to 'leisurely' online activity.

Would you consider utorrent as leisure?

If so, then a lot of people here would be online 168 hours a week.

I'm literally dependant on the internet, so, no matter what time of day it is, even when I'm asleep, I'll be online in some way. Something will be connected, active. And, no, I don't mean torrents or downloads. I don't really count my "internet time", since, I don't get disconnected from the internet. I still have a pretty regular day to day life, somehow. But, to me the internet is a direct part of that. Counting how much I use the net is like trying to count the amount of steps I take every day, or breaths.

I looked at the Chart's they made, they don't separate where use is(home/office/other)but they did separate whether anyone was actually behind the wheel during access.

If including work, then it's like 8-11h a day. If excluding, then it's 0-3h a day. Therefore no, I'm not an average internet user.

15-20 hours a week for me. But I don't use TV or radio or magazines or newspapers...for me all those accessed via internet. I even watch movies on my computer.
