That's really scary. If we all spend upwards of five hours online–that being our free time–but the average is only an hour and forty minutes, how little free time do some people have?

I used to watch TV *constantly*. If I wasn't at school or doing homework, I was watching TV, and I'd stay up late and sneak down to it after midnight to watch reruns of Star Trek and Doctor Who when I was little. I rarely watch TV now (unless I turn around from the computer at a "good part" when my roommate is watching it), and I have a job occupying more of the free time I had as a kid. I do tend to pull all-nighters on IRC now though. I think that's more a function of not having my mom in my dorm to yell at me to go to bed at 3 am though. Mine definitely has.

The amount of time spent in commercial breaks certainly hasn't dropped! Spending on on-line advertising is going up, so I wonder how much TV ad revenue is suffering, if at all.
