Daily Mail - Teens spend average of 87 hours a year looking at porn online
In a study conducted by an online safety and blocking company in England of 1000 teenagers, the average teenager was online for a whopping 31 hours a week. It was found that their use of the internet can be averaged weekly in the following manner:
3 hr 10 min - homework and study
2 hr 2 min - video clips
1 hr 55 min - virtual world interactive sites
1 hr 40 min - music listening or downloading
1 hr 40 min - porn
1 hr 35 min - dieting and weight loss
1 hr 30 min - auctions
1 hr 22 min - health sites, puberty
1 hr 15 min - dating websites
1 hr 8 min - cosmetic surgery
The article also talks about teens spending 'as much as' 9 hours a week chatting online and social networking, but doesn't give the averages. Other news sites quote 3 1/2 hours chatting. The survey was conducted on a voluntary basis by a private firm, CyberSentinel, whose business is to help parents block content from the internet.
