>During the semester, they spent an average of 123 minutes a day on a computer, by far the biggest portion of it, 31 minutes, on social networking. The only thing they spent less time on than e-mail: hunting for content via search engines (four minutes).

This one really bugged me out. I would have expected that they would have been using their knowledge tools to access knowledge - which is probably at least 50% of what I do with my smartphone and 70% of what I do on my laptop. Hopefully they are seeking knowledge through other means and aren't just ignoring one of the best advances of all of mankind.

Search engines are designed to get you to bounce to a useful resource quickly. The longer you have to spend on a search engine, the worse it is.

123 - 31 - 4 = 88

I'm guessing those 88 minutes were spent on web sites found through a search engine.
