Education vs. Online time

Turns out that the more educated you are, the more time you spend online.

The study, that covered households containing at least one person aged 16-74 across Europe, shows that nearly 90 % of the EU population with high formal education used the internet regularly, more than twice as much as the share of the population with low formal education.

The article mentions education's correlation with higher income as a possible reason- since more money means a higher chance of having a pc. I would simply hypothesize that highly educated people are more likely to do shopping online, read blogs, and use tools online, than people with less education.
