Internet Broadband Users Shunning TV

Consumers who plug into DSL and cable broadband lines watch two fewer hours of television per week than those without Internet services; those with dial-up connections watch 1.5 fewer hours of TV, according to a study by Forrester Research, "The State of Consumers and Technology: Benchmark 2005," released Tuesday. The study also predicted that the number of households with broadband connections to the Internet will increase from 31 million at the end of 2004 to 71.4 million by 2010.

2. This must be stopped!

The internet promotes the free exchange of ideas, information, and even crackpot theories!

TV ensures free thinking is halted!
