It's 11 p.m. Do you know where your neighbors are?
Chances are they're online. According to a study, North Americans have been staying up late to do their Internet surfing this summer, so late that the peak usage for the whole day has been at 11 p.m. Eastern time...

11 Eastern is 8 Pacific. So it's probably a nationwide thing that happens all evening like TV used to be.

11PM and know where my neighbors are? Like anyone would know, considering Americans don't talk with their neighbors as often as they used to these days.
I wonder who this study was done on.

From the article: "Arbor gathers data from Internet service providers that account for about half of North American traffic. The study looked at 10 weekdays in July."

Wow I need to stop skimming articles >.>
But 10 weekdays during the peak of summer? I don't think that's long enough to make a valid conclusion.

I don't know where my neighbors are and it really none of my business. I am on Current.com. - 2 years ago

No wonder prime time TV ratings are tanking. Computers are much more interactive than a TV.

With the economy the way it is, why not surf the web to keep you entertained. Twitter, Facebook, onlinegames, TV and movies. Cheaper to stay at home than rent a movie.
