The 2002 version of those challenges is surfing the Net and surfing TV channels at the same time. According to a new study, more than half of adult Internet users in the U.S. have a TV and PC in the same room, and half of those people watch TV and browse the Net simultaneously. This is proof that the Net won't kill the TV star, but it's definitely competing for your attention.
