Most people go online 'for no particular reason,' survey finds

Do you ever find yourself just reaching for your laptop or computer, turn it out, and pointless go online and check anything? Don't feel left out. "A report from Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project found that about 53% of young adults ages 18 to 29 go online on any given day for no particular reason except for a diversion or just for fun. About 81% of people in this
demographic said they have done so at least occasionally. The study -- conducted among 2,260 adults ages 18 and over on landlines and cellphones -- has a margin of error of 3.7%."
It's kind of interesting to see those numbers - with the development of the web today, personally, I sometimes find myself spending hours on websites like Wikipedia just going from subject to subject!
