fruitless

Australians spend more than a day each year lost online, most of it pursuing leisure, according to a survey to be released today.

The ninemsn survey of 21,000 people from 21 countries, including 2500 Australians, found that fruitless internet searches accounted for about 30 hours a year. The online survey also found that more than 1 million Australians took half an hour to find what they were looking for on the internet, in line with the international average.
