Charts from the online section are below; others here. Some highlights…

— “For the fifth year in a row spending on communications services has decreased.”
— “Viewers watched an average of three hours and 45 minutes of television a day in 2009, three percent more than in 2004” (more via Guardian.co.uk).
— “Social networking accounts for nearly a quarter of all time spent on the internet.”
— “The average Facebook user spent 6.5 hours on the site during May 2010.”
