Wonderful followup article in Wired about the Norman Nie study I (and I’m sure tons of other people) mentioned yesterday. It replaces “dogs” for “Internet” with very amusing results. “Americans who have dogs spend the time with their dogs instead of said time watching TV, visiting with friends, sleeping, going to movies, surfing the Internet, and doing nothing.” And the ending point which had me on the floor laughing: “and a full 92 percent (of dog owners) go on the Internet specifically to interact with other dog owners.” Oh no! The horror. The horror.
