Addicted to E-Mail?
U.S. residents are so hooked on e-mail that some check for messages in the bathroom, in church, and while driving, a new survey sponsored by America Online has found.
The average e-mail user in the U.S. has two or three e-mail accounts and spends about an hour every day reading, sending, and replying to messages, according to the survey, conducted by Opinion Research.
E-mail dependency is so strong for 41 percent of survey respondents that they check their e-mail inbox right after getting out of bed in the morning. The average user checks his inbox five times per day, according to the survey, which polled 4012 respondents at least 18 years old in the 20 largest U.S. cities.
About a fourth of respondents acknowledged being so e-mailholic that they can’t go more than two or three days without checking for messages. That includes vacations, during which 60 percent of respondents admitted logging into their inbox.
Umm, I plead the fifth…

Glad to see I am an over acheiver in this dept! go 2 or 3 days w/o checking email?! thats just crazy! Only an HOUR a day? man…if you include work email, it encompasses more than 3 hours of my day!
email is the prime way of communication with my friends lol…. good rediance to the telaphone!
( i wonder how many words i mispelled in that message lol)
- In only check my email at a computer, which usually isnt in the bathroom, at church, or while driving. Though I have been known to call others to check my email on their computer while I am driving.
- I do have 3+ email accounts though the ones checked regularly are only hotmail and work.
- Check right after getting out of bed on Sat and Sun or days off only. No time on the way to work. Just check when I get to work
- Definitely check my inbox at least 5 times a day if not more. Especially since they took away MSN Messenger and I no longer can tell when an email comes in and who it is from to see if I want to check.
- First thing I do when I come home, is turn on the computer and check email.
- Definitely hard to go more than 2 days without checking email. Next week shall be interesting. Ill post on my blog maybe if your lucky.
yep, i check it too much
