An interesting snap shot of web surfing habits in the US from July 1998.
The survey results, compiled using monitoring software called PC Meter, which was installed on the computers of thousands of survey participants, noted a 15 per cent, or half hour, increase in time spent surfing the net from home (as opposed to work) during the first month of the US summer.
In other words surfing the net appeared to be more worthwhile than pursuing other summer-time activities. Could the summer of ‘98 have possibly been the first online summer of love?
