Internet overtakes TV in Britain

The British now spend more time on the Internet than watching television, according to a survey published by Internet search engine Google.

The report showed that British Internet users spend an average of 164 minutes online daily -- the equivalent of 41 days a year -- compared to 148 minutes watching television.

Men spend on average 172 minutes on the web daily, and women 156 minutes.

Londoners and Scots are the most dedicated net users, according to the survey, carried out by the TNS institute last month involving 1,030 adults aged 16 to 64.

Smart choice. I really hope Americans follow suit soon.
