It’s the picture of the modern couple. The husband, the wife, and the computer with a broadband connexion. A survey called “Cyber Stress” and conducted by industry consultancy Kelton Research found out that 65% of American consumers are spending more time with a computer than with their significant other. Other stats show that “more than 8 out of 10 Americans (84%) say they are more dependent on their home computer now than they were just three years ago.”

This addictive behavior indeed impacts on their social life, but should cheer up companies banking on social networks, life sharing services aka Flickr or YouTube. As previously reported on 21talks, more and more people are looking for the perfect date via Skype.
