WASHINGTON, June 6 (UPI) -- A new survey says 69 percent of adults in the United States have used the Internet to watch or download videos.
The poll by the Pew Internet and American Life Project said comedy was the most-watched material followed by news, educational and political material.
More specifically, 50 percent of adults looked for laugh material while 43 percent called up news videos. In 2007, news was the most-watched category.
Jeffrey Cole of the Center for the Digital Future at the University of Southern California told USA Today the survey indicated to him that adults were becoming more comfortable with the Internet as something other than a place to search for specific information.
"Almost everybody is looking to the Internet for entertainment and to watch video," Cole said.
The Pew survey sampled 1,005 adults in June 2009. The margin of error was 3.6 percentage points total and 4.5 percentage points for Internet users.
