WASHINGTON, USA: Whom do you love the most, your life partner or the computer?

When the Internet revolution was in the initial stage many men would have told computer. There was many an ‘Internet widow’ those days thanks to the husband’s ‘crush’ for the Net.

But things have changed over the years. And now it’s the turn of the men to be at the receiving end.

According to a recent survey held in America, most of the American women office workers say they preferred computer to their husbands or boyfriends!

However, this has nothing to do with porn or online social networking. It's the work that draw them closer to the machine.

The online poll conducted by Harris Interactive says women office workers spend nearly triple the amount of time with their computer (9.3 hours) compared to 3.6 hours with their life partner.

Out of the nearly 2600 women participated in the poll, only five per cent said they wished they could spend more time with their life partners than with computer.

The majority preferred computer to men, though the latter caused them problems like carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive stress injuries.

According to the online poll, nearly two-thirds of women spent more time with their computer than they did shopping or outdoors. And nearly eighty per cent of adult women spent more time with their PC than exercising, and forty per cent were with it more than with their family.

Isn’t this showing a disintegration of the family? Won’t it collapse the basic equation of man-woman relationship?
