Are you an SOSO ??! And if you are...have you considered switching off for a week...just to 'go back in time' ?

London, Oct 13 (ANI): A new survey has revealed that British people feel happy and relaxed only when they are connected to Internet.
The obsession with online social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter is keeping two-thirds of the population hooked to Internet 24 hours a day.According to the report by Virgin Media, the fear of getting lost is also prompting people to have permanent access to the web so that they can log onto GPS mapping systems through their iPhone or Blackberry.

The experts have labelled the new generation as the "SOSOs" - who "switch on to switch off". lmost 35 pct of the respondents said they are more relaxed if they have the Internet at their fingertips.
Around a third said being without the Internet caused them stress because they couldn't work while 27 percent feared that they could miss an important message from a friend.

"SOSOs know that, even if they wish to take some time out, the modern world will continue without them," the Sun quoted psychologist Nik Simpson as saying.

"At any moment, an urgent email may ping into an inbox, a client may call, an old friend may get in touch via facebook or a family member may want to get in touch.

"Disconnecting from technology might mean missing something we cannot afford to. Always being connected actually becomes increasingly essential for peace of mind, further reinforcing SOSO values," Simpson added. (ANI)

Actually my real life interferes with the internet. I have too much going on to spend time on the internet. I only post here as often as I do inbetween calls at work. People who are on the internet a lot have too much time on their hands but no real life.

Another pointless survey fact finding mission from some think tank.

I use the internet, like everyone else, when I have to use it (to order things, email, search maps, etc) and when I feel bored and I'm stuck in front of the computer waiting for some work to do (like now).
