According to research conducted by the Nielsen company (you know, the TV ratings folks), the average internet user now spends 68 hours online per month. That may sound like a lot, but it only comes out to an average of about two and a quarter hours a day — something we’d guess many Lifehacker readers demolish. So how about you? 68 hours seem about right? [Nielsen via Mashable]

Depends if they include being online at work all day I guess…

Even if it doesn’t include work time I’d obliterate that number. Internet addicts raise your hand… *raises hand*.

I think I spend closer to 68 hours a day than 68 per month…
Seriously though, miles has it pretty close, 68 per week seems about right.

How about online gaming? Xbox Live still utilises the internet.
Urgh!
7:30am til 3:30pm 5 days a week – so thats just under 40 hours a week before I even count home usage.
Streaming TV on BOXEE a couple of hours a night – theres another 10 – 20 hours a week.
I almost pity the people who can survive on 68 hours a month. LOL

Judging by their website, they mean 68 hours a month…
I spend around 200 hours a month just at work…
Another 150 a month at home >_>
