Why Do You Go Online?

  A new study shows many of us go online for no reason at all. Pew Research found on any given day, 53-percent of 18 to 29 year olds go online just to pass the time. Only 12-percent of people over 65 do the same thing... but if you poll everyone who uses the internet-- any age-- two thirds say when they surf the web, they do it for no reason.
