Pew study of broadband usage

You may have heard references in the news to the latest report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project. Once again, this group is giving us some real data to help us understand what real people do with the Internet, not imaginary people dreamed up by companies who only think of "consumers" and "viewers". It is definitely worth reading this report in detail, and, of course, it's available on the Web.

Staying awake

In trials on healthy people like Army helicopter pilots, modafinil has allowed humans to stay up safely for almost two days while remaining practically as focused, alert, and capable of dealing with complex problems as the well-rested. Then, after a good eight hours' sleep, they can get up and do it again -- for another 40 hours, before finally catching up on their sleep. ... modafinil works without the jitter, buzz, euphoria, crash, addictive characteristics or potential for paranoid delusion of stimulants like amphetamines or cocaine or even caffeine, researchers say.
