British Internet users are now spending an average of 30 hours a week online, according to a new report from uSwitch.
On a work day, the average person now spends 5 hours online, 2 hours for work purposes and 3 hours for leisure, including online shopping, managing finances and socializing.
During weekends Brits spend an average of 3 hours a day online. Not surprisingly, 18-24 year olds already spend 7 hours a day online during the week and 5 hours a day on the weekend.
Social networking is one of the main reasons why Brits now spend so much time online. A quarter of adults say they need to use sites such as Facebook and Twitter at least once a day and 30 percent of 18-24 year olds spend more than 5 hours a week on them.
Only 27 percent of British Internet users think that social networking is a good thing, while 46 percent are still undecided.
