Here are the main online activities and behaviors:

  • US consumers spend each week:
    • on social media sites (4 hrs, 44 mins)
    • watching videos (4 hrs, 12 mins)
    • reading the news (3 hrs, 24 mins)
    • online shopping (3 hrs, 22 mins)
  • Laptops are the main device for online activities in US, followed closely by smartphones
  • When it comes to consumers’ demands for online experiences, the expectations are high – and security is a major concern. 1 in 4 US consumers note they would not continue to make purchases on a website that has experienced a security breach.
  • Limelight’s survey also revealed the financial impacts of poor ecommerce experiences: 39% of US consumers will leave a website that’s taking too long to load and go on to make purchases with a competitor.
  • 81% Americans noted they’ll recommend a brand to a friend if they had a “positive experience with its website”

  1. Yes.
    This is true. Your survey is quite good. Now you get everything on internet through mobile, laptop, tablet or desktop etc. Anyone can do online shopping, play games, watching movies, communicate to each other, travel booking, and so many more through internet. People got everything from the internet, so they spend too much time on internet in a week.
    It will increase day after day.
