Study: you probably have 880 MP3s and 100 PDF files on your PC
Internet research firm comScore says the average U.S. computer had an average of 3GB worth of MP3 files, and over 300MB worth of WMV (Windows Media Video) files. The study looked at computer hardware and software configurations in April. Here are a few other interesting findings:
[via Information Week]
- Hard drive capacity is on the rise. Over the first four months of the year, the number of computers with hard drives under 30GB shrunk, while the percentage of computers with 100GB+ hard drives rose.
- Users with the largest MP3 collections are more likely to spend time online gambling, gaming, shopping, chatting, and doing just about any other kind of online leisure activity that was tracked
- Users with large collections of Microsoft Word Documents were more likely to spend time online in business related pursuits like travel, finance, and shipping.

I've got 8 times more mp3s than the average user. I would never gamble online though.

And it never occured to them that computers with a lot of MP3's tend to be home computers and computers with a lot of office documents tend to be work computers? So their research shows that people tend to work at work and play at home? Brilliant!!!

I have a vast amount of mp3s, and I don't partake in any of those activities they list. gg ComScore.
