Internet Or TV Which One Would You Choose To Dump?

Just imagine if you had to make a choice.. Internet or Television, which one would you go without? According to new research by Arbitron/Edison most of you would give up the tv set rather than lose access to the world wide web.

What were 48% of you thinking?

The survey comprised of 1,753 respondents aged 12 plus, who were presented with a ‘false choice’ of either never again watching television or never again accessing the Internet. 49% said they would forgoe tv. This compared to a very close figure of 48% who would rather kick the internet into touch.

“When we first asked this question in 2001, the spread was 72% for eliminating Internet and 26% for eliminating television,” Edison Research President Larry Rosin said. “The shift over these nine years has been steady and profound.”

The finding is part of the 18th in Arbitron/Edison’s series of joint studies on the Internet and new media. The full study is released on April 8th.

Quite why anyone would choose to keep tv is beyond me. These guys obviously havent heard of internet tv. Think of all the services and activities you lose without the internet compared to just not watching tv shows on your tv. Get some catch up tv going and chat on Facebook whilst shopping on Ebay. What could be better?
