NEW YORK — Despite the growing junk pile of failed dot-com companies, Internet usage has held steady, a survey found.
More than half of the Internet users surveyed said they were online the same amount of time as they were six months ago, while 29% used the Internet more and 17% used it less, according to the survey released by the Pew Internet and American Life Project.

In addition, spending less time online didn’t necessarily mean users thought less of the Internet.
