 We’re human. We all like to think we spend less time aimlessly scrolling through our phones than we actually do. So, ask yourself: What do you do on your way to work? Or on your lunch break? What do you do during the tv ads? Chances are you scroll your Facebook and Instagram feeds. And when you want to know if those ominous clouds pose a threat to your daily commute, or if your child’s sniffle is worth a trip to the doctor? You search Google. When you put it that way, it’s easy to see how we spend so much time on the internet. In fact, the average Aussie spends a staggering 6.8 hours a day on the web… and only 8 of those minutes is spent on realestate.com.au.
