- gwern 17y agoOrdinary people.
- gjm11 17y agoThe ATUS categorization doesn't have a top-level category for computer use, and some varieties of computer use get recorded in ways that don't indicate that a computer was involved. So the actual amount of computer use time might be bigger than reported, both because not all computer use is explicitly recorded as such and because whoever made the interactive graphic might have missed some categories.
- DanielStraight 17y agoWhich just leads me to say, if you can't report something accurately, don't report it at all. Reporting an average of 8 minutes a day of computer use is just absurd.
- baddox 17y agoI assume a lot of people's work time involves computer use, but wouldn't be counted as such on this graph.
