Office workers are increasingly spending their break times online, shopping, social networking and reading news.<\/p>\n

A gocompare.com survey of 3,000 office workers found that internet breaks lasted 6 hours and 23 minutes each week on average. This includes an average one hour and fifteen minutes on social networking sites and two hours five minutes reading news websites.<\/p>\n

“While we can’t really excuse people using work computers<\/a>to play computer games, it is understandable that things like online banking, shopping around for deals and food shopping sometimes have to be conducted during the day.”<\/p>\n
