The poll seems to be based on the premise that whatever time we spend not earning money is time wasted. I recommend reading "Momo" by Michael Ende for a different perspective. Time we spend learning new things is valuable. Time we spend communicating ideas is valuable. This isn't to say that all the time everyone spends on the Internet is worthwhile, or that many of us wouldn't be better off spending less time in front of a screen, but it isn't always easy to know beforehand what time is going to be well-spent and what isn't.
