People in the UK spend three times longer surfing the internet than they do reading newspapers, reports Silicon.com.
This is according to a new survey commissioned by the British ISP, Freeserve.
The study found that those aged 16-34 spend 15 times longer on the internet in an average week than they do reading a newspaper.
The Internet is now established as the third source of news for British citizens, behind television and radio.
Newspapers and magazines have moved down to fourth and fifth place respectively.
