Deborah Fallows Time Quotations

Web surfing has kind of taken its rightful place as a routine activity. It's not necessarily a time killer, but a time filler.

Broadband access and an ever-growing volume of Web content make the Internet a tempting go-to place, and they are likely drivers behind this changing Web surfing habit. People can break up their workday by snacking on the Internet at their desktops. Or they can kill a little waiting time by browsing the Web through their cell phones. Or they can fill a lazy few hours just going online to see what's up.

This tells us the internet is another place where people increasingly go to while away their time or just to hang out.
