Nor are the Chinese casual and infrequent Internet users. Consistent with what the social-network theorist Clay Shirky has dubbed a society’s penchant for unlocking the “cognitive surplus” embedded in net-based activities, survey data from the China Internet Network Information Center suggest that Chinese netizens log an average of 2.6 hours per day online – a full hour longer than the average 15-49-year-old Chinese citizen spends watching television.&#160;
中国那些不常使用互联网的人数也是如此。正如网络理论家克莱·舍奇（Clay Shirky）所说，社会具有开启基于网络行为“认知过剩”现象的强烈嗜好，而中国互联网信息中心的调查数据也与该理论不谋而合：中国网民平均每天上网近2.6个小时，比15~49岁中国人平均每天看电视的时间还多出整整一个小时。
