USA Nielsen: Connected devices gaining online viewers

Over 80 percent still watching online content on computer at home

While online viewing opportunities are expanding at the pace of new connected devices--which, themselves, are exploding on the consumer electronics scene--most home viewers do their watching on two traditional devices: computers (84 percent) and TVs (83 percent), according to a Nielsen survey of 28,800 online consumers around the world.

According to a story in Advanced Television, the statistics indicate this is the first time computer watching has overtaken TV watching. In 2010, for instance, more than 90 percent of online consumers reported watching video content on TV compared to 86 percent on computers.
