A survey by Intel has indicated women in the US would rather abstain from sex for two weeks than lose their access to the web!
In the “Internet Reliance in Today’s Economy” survey conducted by Harris Interactive:
· 65% of adults say they can’t exist without the net
· 71% say internet enabled devices like mobile phones, laptops and netbooks are important for immediate access to information
· 46% of woman but only 30% of men would give up sex for two weeks to keep their access
· Cable TV, dining out and gym membership all rank below the internet as “must haves” in this day and age
Like mobile phones, I can’t quite remember how we all managed without the internet, and I still can’t understand how people today can’t get into it or use it to the max.
But abstaining from sex!?!
Not sure Tim Berners-Lee knew he’d invented a form of birth control! 🙂

Obviously the men of america aren’t performing well enough hahaha
The survey is an extreme yet accurate way to show everyone how Americans can’t live without their emails or Internet. I’m glued to my inbox and Internet because of my job, and I know I’m not the only one. Even companies, like Clear (www.clear.com/?utm_source=bc) are making it easier for Internet users to stay connected, no matter where they go. Internet is becoming more affordable and I bet those stats will go up in the near future.
