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.
