Online psychology is getting to be a bit of a theme for us, so here's the latest gem.
It's another piece of US research claiming the internet brings family members together.
There we were mistakenly thinking it was glossy brochures.
The survey, by the Pew Internet & American Life Project reveals nearly half of respondents feel the internet and mobile phone technology increase the quality of communication within their homes.
More than half, 53 per cent, also said the web improves the quality of communication among family members living apart.
The study also reveals search is gaining ground on email as the most popular online activity and points out that it could have something to do with a minor political event about to take place across the pond.
Households with married couples and children are amongst the most enthusiastic adopters of the net and mobile communication devices. Come on, own up, how many hours have you spent recently with your kids on clubpenguin.com, miniclips, the lego site or the latest equivalent.
Unsurprisingly, a quarter of the 2,252 respondents said they now watch less TV.
