Interesting effect ;-) As surprising as finding that people who almost always use a car for transportation lead a different lifestyle than those who exclusively use horses for transportation. And those who are almost always on the road spend less time socializing with their spouse or partner, or their children and friends. And they may also not have time to indulge in outdoor activities. So what? Sad to see this type of study reflected in the media over and over again. Regards, --u At 10:18 Uhr -0400 2.8.2006, Mark Bell wrote:

OTTAWA (CP) - There's a new study that says heavy Internet users lead a considerably different lifestyle than people who do not surf the web.
Statistics Canada says it found that heavy Net users spent less time to socializing with their spouse or partner, or their children and friends.
And they tended to stay at home, showing less interest in outdoor activities than non-users."
