The //Internet Video Audience// report analyzes not only who's watching video content online, but also what they watch and how they watch it. After virtually controlling video viewing, content and timing for half a century, advertisers are facing a new virtual reality. As A. G. Lafley, CEO of Procter & Gamble, told the Association of National Advertisers conference in October 2006, marketers must "begin to let go." Viewers are taking control of their media-consumption. Sometimes that means ad skipping with DVRs. Other times viewing consumer-generated video on the Internet. Sometimes watching clips of TV shows online — all at their leisure and not a network's schedule.

 * RE: Browsing the Web for fun**
 * DATE: February, 2006**


 * On any given day, about 40 million internet users go online just for fun**
 * or to pass the time**


 * The internet is increasingly a place where Americans just hang out.**

Surfing the Web has become one of the most popular activities that internet users will do online on a typical day. Some 30% of internet users go online on any given day for no particular reason, just for fun or to pass the time. This makes the act of hanging out online one of the most popular activities tracked by the Pew Internet & American Life Project and indicates that the online environment is increasingly popular as a place for people to spend their free time. Compared to other online pursuits, the act of surfing for fun now stands only behind sending or receiving email (52% of internet users do this on a typical day) and using a search engine (38% of internet users do this on a typical day), and is in a virtual tie for third with the act of getting news online (31% of internet users do this on a typical day). In aggregate figures, this development is striking because it represents a significant increase from the number of people who went online just to browse for fun on a typical day at the end of 2004. In a survey in late November 2004, about 25 million people went online on any given day just to browse for fun. In the Pew Internet Project survey in December, 2005, that number had risen to about 40 million people. The Project’s December survey asked about Web surfing in two ways. We asked all internet users: "Do you ever go online for no particular reason, just for fun or to pass the time?" Two-thirds of internet users, 66%, answered "yes" to this question, a percentage that has held about steady since we began asking the question in 2000. We also asked internet users if they went online "yesterday," referring to the day before the respondent was interviewed. Respondents who said "yes" were then asked, "Did you go online for no particular reason, just for fun or to pass the time yesterday?" In this case, 30% answered "yes." We interpret the positive responses to indicate that 30% of internet users were surfing the web for fun on an average day in December 2005. This figure shows striking growth compared to previous surveys when we asked the same questions.

Who surfs the Web for fun

In the earliest days of the Web, young, white men were the most likely people to go online just to surf around with no particular purpose or destination in mind. It is still the case that being young 1

and male are predictors of Web surfing on a typical day. But this kind of idle browsing has a broader appeal now, cutting through all races, income groups, levels of educational accomplishment. Here are some of the factors: //__Gender__//: Although men and women are equally likely to have tried Web surfing for fun, online en are significantly more likely than women to do this on an average day. Men have always led r sers were asked if they have ever gone online for no part ay. icular reason, and if they did this yesterd //||// //women to a small degree in their likelihood of going online on an average day with no particulapurpose. While percentages of both men and women increased to record highs in December 2005, the increase from a year before was ever higher for men, from 24% to 34%, than for women, from 19% to 26%.// __Age:__ //Web surfing isPercentage of internet users who go more attractive to younger sers.

But the more years of internet experience, the more likely users are tobrowse for fun on a typical day. Some 36%internet users with six or more years of experience will surf for no particular reason on an average day, compared to fewer than quarter of those with less experience online.// __Home broadband access:__ //Those who have broadband access at home are significantly re nd. more likely than those with dial-up to have surfed the Web for fun, and dramatically moso on a given day. Some 72% of those with home broadband have surfed the Web this way,compared with 63% of those with dial-up; aalmost twice the number, 39%, do so on a typical day, compared with 23% of dial-up users// __Why the increase now; the beginning of a trend?__ //online just to pass the time// U

//This new appeal of idle web surfing on a typical day takes places in the context of at least two easing numbers of people who have r nd amount of web content are likely to continue to grow. erhaps the rise in either broadband or web content has crossed a kind of threshold that aps the relevant ongoing changes in the internet world: incr broadband access in their homes and a growing body of content and applications on the web. Broadband connections certainly make Web surfing easier, faster, and more pleasant an experience. More web content and more applications means a greater variety of experiences fopeople with different interests to enjoy. Both home broadband penetration rates a P stimulated a rise in everyday web surfing. Perhaps, as these two factors likely continue to rise, this moment marks the beginning of a trend of increasing everyday web surfing. Or perhrise in web surfing on a given day marks an uptick that has hit an upper limit. 2

Rise of home broadband Penetration rates for home broadband access have risen from about 3% in 2000 to 36% at the end f 2005. The rise of Web surfing for no particular purpose on a typical day has remained steady at ar, when it took a sudden upswing, and only then did it match the rise • 63% of dial-up users have surfed the Web for fun; 23% of dial-up users do it on a typical o about 20% until the last ye of home broadband access from one-quarter to more one-third of American households. • 72% of those who have broadband access at home have surfed the Web for fun; 39% of those with broadband at home do it on a typical day.//
