Overview

[Introduction] [Statistics]

Computer pornography (internet and cd-rom) is a $3.5 Billion industry

Fourteen percent of students surveyed at Ohio University use the Internet more than two hours per day or between fifteen to twenty hours a week.

25% of total search engine requests are pornography-related (pornography statistics)

In a sample of students from multiple universities, " students who used the Internet averaged 99 minutes per day of on-line activity. As anticipated, the hard science group (123 min./day) spent significantly more time on-line than did the arts and sciences group (81 min./day) or the liberal arts (79 min./day) group."(Anderson 2005 )

"Estimates suggest that five to ten percent of the population is addicted to the internet."
