The Internet is now as popular as TV

The average U.S. consumer now spends as much time online as watching television, according to research being released today by Forrester. The survey says that people spend 13 hours doing each activity.  It seems that the Internet has been consuming more and more time over the years is because people can do normal activities on the Internet like reading newspapers.  The Internet is not for just email anymore.  People are on social networking sites, attending class, and even watching shows on streaming sites.  I'm predicting in the next five years the amount of time people are on the Internet will far surpass the time they spend watching television.
