Internet More Important Than Sex

Mon Dec 15, 2008 10:01:22 AM #82671 Perm Link

There is a new news item posted at »ASE Labs

»Internet More Important Than Sex

Yes, it's official. In a survey put out by Intel, <a href="http://scoop.intel.com/2008/12/the-internet-could-you-give-it-up.php">People would rather go without sex for a length of time than give up the internet for the same length</a>. Wow. Wait till 3D interactive porn comes out. Society will be screwed, not literally.

Quote
Sixty five percent of adults feel they cannot live without Internet access, and even more - 71 percent - responded that it is important or very important to have Internet-enabled devices that can provide them with real-time updates on important issues including the state of the economy.

When asked to rate certain discretionary items on a scale of 1 (completely expendable) to 5 (cannot live without it), having Internet access ranks highest among the items listed, with 65 percent of U.S. adults reporting they cannot live without it. The following items and activities were ranked below Internet access in importance: cable television subscriptions (39 percent); dining out (20 percent); shopping for clothes (18 percent); and, gym membership (10 percent).

This confirmed what I personally believed to be true - that the Internet is essential, maybe even indispensible, especially during the current economic situation we're facing. But what really surprised me here was just how essential the Internet has become. More than half ranked the Internet as completely expendable over things like cable TV, dining out and even gym memberships! If asked, I suppose I'd also make the same choices.

Please add your comments below.

I can only imagine the type of people they asked:

Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today?
Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection.
Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!

I haven't found it impossible living without the internet. I went on a media fast once and found that the lack of television was more of a problem for me, even though all I watch on tv is the news and DVDs. On average I spend far more time on the internet, but the absence of a Friday night movie was pretty trying for me.

Damn, sucks for them. I've been juggling between internet and girlfriend. I think girlfriend is winning out. XD

Honestly, I'm not as addicted as I once was.

To be honest, I kinda like having William around. For one, his level of intelligence makes everyone of us look a little smarter than what we already are and secondly, it is so much fun burning his ass! He makes it soooooo easy! Just like good 'ole GARRA.

Back to the topic at hand. I guess the Internet would be more important than sex if you have never had sex. However, I'm willing to bet that even all of the people here that have had sex still spend more time on the Internet than having sex. Myself included. So, I don't think it is a fact of which is more important, it is a fact of which one you spend more time doing.

That point is well taken. That's why I said length of time in the summary.

You would have to Be A Whore, Or A someone without internet to possibly have sex that much.

I don't know if it was intentional, but you writing "be a whore" with each word capitalized made me chuckle. Like it was the title of a book or something.

Importance is a way to describe a hierarchy of priority among different things, so if I had the choice of sex or the internet, I would certainly have sex. At the same time, there can be times when the internet is more important than sex, like when there's no sex to be had. It's a paradox!
