time using technology. Almost one-quarter (23%) spend between 70
and 80 percent of their time using it, and 18 percent spend between 81
and 90 percent of their time. 50 percent thought that time spent was
the right amount.

• 60 to 80 percent of all Internet traffic from the US is Google,
depending on your sources. That rises to 85% for Europe. Part of that
number is referring traffic by search engines controlled by Google:
AOL, Devilfinder, Easytofind.com, Metasearch tools such as DogPile.
