“If You Had To Give Up Two of [Internet, TV, and Radio], Which Two Would It Be?”

So asked a Zogby poll conducted late last months. Here’s how the numbers broke down by age.

Age

% who included Internet

% who included TV

% who included radio

Approximate margin of error (95% confidence interval)

18-24

32.5

86.5

69.4

+/-9

25-34

71.9

42.5

70.7

+/-7

35-54

67.8

55.6

67.3

+/-5

55-69

78.3

44.3

65.9

+/-6

The 18-24 numbers seem especially striking, both as to their unwillingness to give up the Internet and as to their willingness to give up TV. Query how honest the answers are — maybe some people just like to think of themselves as preferring the Internet, or don’t like to think of themselves as being hooked on TV — but if they are honest, they seem like a pretty big deal.

And, no, I’m not sure why the numbers don’t quite add up to 200%, especially since the none / refused to state percentages were very low; I expect that there were some people who gave only one answer rather than two, but weren’t recorded as none or refused to state.
