Surfing the net has become an obsession for many Americans with the majority of U.S. adults feeling they cannot go for a week without going online and one in three giving up friends and sex for the Web.

A survey asked 1,011 American adults how long they would feel OK without going on the Web, to which 15 percent said a just a day or less, 21 percent said a couple of days and another 19 percent said a few days.

Only a fifth of those who took part in an online survey conducted by advertising agency JWT between Sept 7 and 11 said they could go for a week.

One in three Americans is so lousy in the sack they won't be missed.

Another startling discovery from this online survey was that American adults overwhelmingly favor Ron Paul among the presidential candidates, and believe that the official 9/11 conspiracy theory is a coverup.

You can have online friends, too, it's like a phone, but, with a keyboard, and moving pictures and words, and stuff. And, I understand they're working on some kind of USB interface for the other thing, there...

Online digi-land can help people, in a lot of ways, be it telework(good for the wallet),
communication with people you can't afford to
go and travel to see, learning something/staying informed, whathaveyou, it's more boon than bane to have th'innernit, so it's not all bad...
