NEW YORK The reasons why consumers use the Internet are changing, as is the frequency with which they log on, according to a recent report.

The findings are a part of The Consumer Internet Barometer, a quarterly survey of 10,000 households produced by NFO WorldGroup, Forrester Research and The Conference Board.

According to the survey, nearly 20 percent of the respondents are using the Web for work-related purposes, up from 18 percent a year ago. Seventeen percent are logging on to conduct personal research, up from 15 percent a year ago.
