Americans Surf Web and Watch TV Simultaneously - Are You One of Them?

A Nielsen report released today finds more Americans are surfing the Web and watching television at the same time. At least once a month, “60 percent of TV viewers use the Web at the same time,” reports Reuters. (That means Americans spend 3.5 hours a month surfing the Web while watching television.) These numbers ease concerns that the Internet would eventually replace traditional television watching. “The initial fear was that Internet and mobile video and entertainment would slowly cannibalize traditional TV viewing, but the steady trend of increased TV viewership alongside expanded simultaneous usage argues something quite different,” Nielsen Co. media product leader Matt O’Grady said. The study also found that 35 percent of American households have a DVR.



I found this kind or interesting sicne I do this a lot now that I have my labtop. Mostly while I am on this forum or my other during shows that I comment on after stuff has happened. So discuss and vote yes if you do it sometimes or often.

No. I'm British so I'm not an American who surfs the net and watches TV.

However, occasionally I use the internet and have either the F1 or rugby playing in the background so I can follow races/matches.

i surf and watch tv. since usually i'm in a chat room watching the same thing as 3-4 other people.

or the nights wrestling is on i post on wrestling forums as I watch.

i'm a gemini and i dont work well doing 1 thing at a time. multitasking is what's best for me.

Most of the time I just have the tv on, but, I'm not watching it. My focus is on the internet.

i like doing multiple things at once.

btw NCD, what is FBC?

The t.v is behind me so, no. But, I listen to it if it happends to be on.

I do it all the time. Especailly when I watch wrestling.

My mom's computer is set up like that but she got a mirror so she could see stuff while on the computer. It is actually pretty smart since you can really see it.

Yes, what is FBC?

well 14 = N, 3 = C, and 4 = D...

and if the other part matches the same type of code that the first part then...

6 = F, 2 = B, and 3 = C...

Also, it's possible that the second part has a different coding or has some other significant meaning such as birthday (which idk) or area code which 623 is Arizona, so I doubt it's that.

All in all, I have no idea what FBC stands for... or if it has an ulterior meaning.

yea i do it sometimes. although i usually focus on one thing more than the other.

You had the 14-3-4 correct.

The other numbers are placements of which NCD is at: N -6. C -2. 3 - D.

how clever.

lol

For clarification, I meant on the telephone.

And lol at the avy.

On Monday Nights I have to.
