Confirmed: Most People Have No Good Reason to Go Online

A new study reveals that the Internet is a gigantic, sophisticated, inter-connected network utilized by many exclusively to ... waste time. On any given day, 53% of 18-to-29-year-olds log on to the web for the sole purpose of either having fun or passing the time, according to a report by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project.

Nearly 60% of all adults said they use the Internet to kill time at least occasionally.

Only 12% of people over 65 say they went online the previous day for no particular reason. (More internet stories.)
