You might feel like you're constantly on YouTube but new research may be reassuring in that you're absolutely not alone.
A study from the Pew Institute reveals that 62 percent of American adults, over the age of 18 watch videos online and this figure is twice as large as it was in 2006.
Since 63 percent of Americans have faster broadband internet access, it is much easier for them to watch videos online and a third of internet users watch TV and video over the web.
This survey was conducted in April of this year and it further found that 9 out of 10 adults watch videos online, marking a 72 percent increase from last year's figures.
Older Americans still prefer to watch TV on the set, for 41 percent of those aged between 50 and 64 said that they watch videos online. However, 27 percent of the over 65 crowd watch videos online and this has increased from only 19 percent who responded as such last year.
Interestingly, 22 percent of adults in the U.S. say that they have reduced the channels and size of their cable TV or broadband packages during the past 12 months.
