Americans are spending nearly half their day online, with time almost evenly split between streaming videos and engaging in daily digital tasks, according to a new survey conducted by Optimum. The poll of 2,000 U.S. adults with home internet, held from May 6 to 14, revealed that individuals average more than 10 hours per day on the web.
“This new survey was eye-opening,” said Eric Bruno, senior vice president of product management at Optimum. “We were amazed to see how many hours folks are watching, shopping and browsing online on a daily basis.”
Users typically spend 5.4 hours browsing, emailing, gaming, or working, and about five hours streaming video or TV. Television is the preferred streaming device (55%), followed by mobile phones (20%) and computers/tablets (25%).
Additionally, 80% of users browse or pay bills online, 73% use social media, 72% shop online, 37% work digitally, and 20% complete school assignments. Bruno noted the findings underscore the importance of reliable and affordable internet.
