Three out of four Germans between the ages of 14 and 64 use the Internet, more than half of them several times a day. According to Werben & Verkaufen, this is the result of the Allensbach Computer and Technology Analysis (Acta) published on Thursday. As the proportion of users has risen, so has the daily usage time: Around half of surfers spend more than an hour a day on the web. However, respondents are concerned about data protection: more than half fear that personal data is not protected online.
However, according to the study, the internet is only of minor importance for obtaining information on current events. The most important sources of information for internet users are television (74% of online users) and newspapers (51%). The Internet only accounts for 36%, but is growing steadily.
A good fifth of all surfers watch TV via the Internet, and this figure is almost a third among the under-30s. In both groups, however, there is only a small proportion of frequent users. A total of 30 percent of respondents listen to the radio via the Internet. TV programs are recorded online less and less frequently - less than half of users do so.

Just under half of 14 to 19-year-olds are members of a community, compared to only 16% of 30 to 39-year-olds. Print brands are increasingly being used online. Spiegel.de has just under three million users per week, Bild.de 2.5 million and Stern.de just under 1.7 million. Google has the most users per week, followed by Ebay, Wikipedia, T-Online, Web.de, Youtube and Gmx.de.
