A recent survey held in America brought to light that most of the American women office workers prefer computer to their husbands or boyfriends in as much as they spend nearly triple the amount of time with their computer (9.3 hours) compared to 3.6 hours with their life partner.

The online poll was conducted by Harris Interactive. Nearly 2600 women participated in the poll and a meager five per cent said that they wished they could spend more time with their life partners than with computer. The online poll indicates that nearly two-thirds of women spent more time with their computer than they did shopping or outdoors. And nearly eighty per cent of adult women spent more time with their PC than exercising, and forty per cent were with it more than with their family.

The results are explained in part by the fact that adult Americans spend an average of 8.2 hours in the office, compared to 7.6 hours asleep, the second most popular pastime.
