Internet Usage

This article talks about how Canadians have been crowned the most active users of the internet in the world, according to a new global report. According to a report done by ComScore, Canadians spend an average of 43.5 hours online every month. This almost twice the global average of 23.1 hours per month. In second place, America had 35.3 hours spent on the internet per month. Canada saw a two percent increase in internet users and they think it's due to the fact that more people over the age of 55 are starting to use the internet.

I don't find this surprising at all. The reason for this is that I live in an environment where everyone uses the internet everyday. Since everyone at St. Andrew's has a laptop and there is wireless internet throughout the school, these stats don't surprise me at all. I probably spend more than the Canadian average of hours, 43.5, on the internet per month. I'd say, on average, I probably spend 2 hours on the internet every day and in a month that would be around 60 hours. This is why I don't find the fact that Canada has the highest average of hours spent on the internet per month surprising at all.
