When checking Email the page is BLANK?

Email Checking Statistics (Average Time Spend, Frequency, Attention Span, etc)

• I would like to be linked to a page which shows a supportive (based on an experiment or survey) statistical data on email checking of the people. I would like atleast the following questions answered: - How frequently does an average person check their email ? Computer literate person ? Businessman ? Youngster ? Etc - Average time spent at checking the email (not on the computer itself), writing emails, responding, and reading. - Average attention span after an email was opened (regularly we concentrate on a lecture/conversation greatly during only the first 30 seconds, then our mind may wander off) Any additional information would also be appreciated.

• Answer:
