A new survey of 10,000 email users shows that 73.8 percent of people now say email is "essential" to their lives. So essential, in fact, that 40-50 percent of people rate access to email as more important than chocolate, coffee or television. 59.8 percent of those surveyed say they spend more time with email than they do on the phone. For some, email is so integral that 14.9 percent said they would "rather live without their spouse or significant other than go without e-mail, and 6 percent said they would rather lose their home."
