Statistics Canada: Internet users are “weird”.

The results of a recent survey by Statistics Canada caught me off-guard.

According to the survey, a heavy user is someone who spends more than one hour per day online.

I qualify, as do millions of other Canadians (and others worldwide). However, the brief definition of a heavy user is grounds for a flame war.

Spending an one hour online per day does not constitute much time these days, especially with broadband / always-on connections. Maybe a revision to the survey should be in order?
