New research conducted by BT Mobile Broadband and VisitBritain has revealed that nearly two thirds of Brits prefer to spend time on online with their laptop whilst away on holiday, with only one third preferring to spend romantic time with a loved one. It also revealed that two thirds of 18-25 year olds will mostly be spending their time updating facebook statuses, tweeting or uploading photographs.


In addition more than half of people aged 51+ claimed they take their laptops away with them on short breaks, and 89% use the internet whilst on holiday to research historical places of interest.
