(Credit to Slashdot) In a not-so-surprising recently published study, 65% of Americans spend more time with their computer than with their significant other. Further:

  • The average consumer has experienced computer troubles eight times – about every four months – over the last three years.

  • The average American is wasting 12 hours per month – the equivalent of half a weekend – due to problems with their home computer.

  • A majority of Americans (52%) describe their most recent experience with a computer problem as one of anger, sadness or alienation.

It shouldn’t be that funny, but I can’t help but laugh at that last bit.
