Headline : Britons spend more time on tech than asleep, study suggests.
"Communications regulator Ofcom said UK adults spend an average of eight hours and 41 minutes a day on media devices, compared with the average night's sleep of eight hours and 21 minutes."
My thoughts :
Meh, they obviously didn't include the amount of time some of us diehards spend here !
It eye opening when one does work out how long we do spend on our devices.
As I write this on my commute to work their are 8 other travellers all on their phones talking or surfing.

Well as that includes TV and Radio then I'm not that suprised.
About half of that 8 hours was TV so they are seriously underestimating our usage

I always take these stats with a pinch of salt. Who are these people to decide normal or average. No one has ever asked me my opinion or my own particular time online. Gawd what I wouldn't give for 8 hours sleep!
Stuff and nonsense!

That research seems very flawed.
Who formed the 'study group' they used to do this so called research?
I get infuriated with articles like this.....based on very little evidence and making headlines !!
I bet they didnt use many folk in my age group...they probably think we are far too busy knitting or gardening...
or, even worse...taking long naps throughout the day!
Pffftttt ....

Also...having done plenty of research in my 'previous life' I am well aware of how research can be manipulated to get the results you want...Or even to make 'Headline News'

Don't forget the grammatical errors @Anonymous ....:smileywink:
Seriously...I honestly think this research is flawed, for the sole purpose of making so called news
Additionally with the rapid advances in this type of technology it does smack of 'Telling us the obvious'
