  More Aussies Prefer Notebooks Over TVs

By Mendelson Tiu | Friday | 03/12/2010

It seems that we would rather check Facebook, surf the Internet and chat with friends online than sit down and watch our favourite shows, with a survey revealing that more than half of Australians prefer to give up their TV than their notebooks.

The online survey which was conducted by Galaxy Research has revealed that 61 percent would rather do without a TV set for a week, while only 31 per cent would prioritise their TVs. It has also found that 79 percent of 16-29 year olds with notebooks said that they would rather give up their TV set for a week.

In addition, close to half (49 percent) of those surveyed use a notebook computer rather than a desktop at home, with younger users twice more likely to use a notebook than older respondents (60 percent of respondents aged 16-29 versus 33 percent among those 45-59 years).

44 percent among 16-29 year olds said that they were more accepting of using on-line tools to communicate with someone in the same room, but still less than half believe it is socially acceptable.
