Default Internet. Bigger procrastination tool than TV?

I was reading an article the other day and that was the gist of it.

It pretty much said that internet use is a bigger time WASTER (for the masses) than TV has been at any stage of existence.

It didn't say that the internet was a bad thing in general, it just claimed that it was a HUGE and far reaching "toy" for people who should/could be doing other things in their life.

It said "online" reaches us at work to help us procrastinate, school, and of course home.

Opinions?

I will say for me personally, the internet SAVES me tons of time in shopping, banking, and paying bills..........time which I then take and reinvest back into the internet, LOL

I agree...

Also when I am watching tv I am always doing something else too, so I get stuff done at the same time but with the internet it takes my full attention, so it is all wasted time.

The internet definitely saves me time, BUT I also use it to procrastinate horribly. I get so distracted :S
