Wi-Fi is addictive, according to a new survey conducted online by Kelton Research among adults who have broadband Internet access at home. It was commissioned by the Wi-Fi Alliance, a global, non-profit industry association devoted to promoting wireless.
The survey found:
- Almost nine out of 10 Americans surveyed said they would rather go without Starbucks for a year than give up their Wi-Fi connection (89 percent vs. 11 percent).
- 83 percent percent agree that using someone else’s Wi-Fi without that person’s knowledge is stealing.
- Eight out of 10 said it would be worse to lose their Wi-Fi for a week than for their team to lose the big game this weekend. (81 percent vs. 19 percent).
Perhaps the Center for Internet Addiction can help.
