for more on this $1.5 million study by Carnegie Mellon University.
You have to subscribe to the NY Times but it is free.
The study was over 2 years. I don't see how you can study people like this
when it isn't possible to live your life twice. Also it has such gems (as
reported that is) as indicating that if you spend two hours a day on your
own on the Net you interact with your family for less time. Duh! yes. Same
applies to lone hill-walking, train-spotting.....
Jel's description seems perfect, you must have read the full report, Jel. <g>
