Internet vs. Coffee

Q: What would you give up first, the Internet or coffee?

A: That's an easy one. COFFEE. (I've never even had a cup of java.) And it turns out most people would give up their morning coffee before giving up personal use of the Internet at work. WEBSENSE INC., a software company whose products monitor employee Net use, recently released a survey that found that 52 percent of staffers apparently find the Web as addictive as java. Only 44 percent said they would trade Internet access for a cup of coffee. The survey, which included company information-technology executives and office workers, also found 93 percent of staffers use the Internet on the job, up from 86 percent last year.
