Members of the Baby-Boom generation are increasingly shifting away from traditional TV in favor of online services and entertainment, and now spend more free time online than they do watching TV, according to a study by ChangeWave Research.

The May benchmark survey of business professionals ages 45-63, focused on TV viewing habits vs. home internet usage.
