What is the typical amount of time you spend on the net (excluding work)? Does it supercede your other leisure activities?

I spend way too much time online. I've become addicted to researching my family tree... so between this website and the research i dont do much leisure

[JediReturns84]

way too much time. but, on the upside, i am learning some great stuff on my net travels...yay, the bright side!

[Karlmarks]

A lot Surfing the net IS my leisure time lol

[P9CCd35R]

probably way too much time but it is something I enjoy so I am ok with that. I have learned so much because all the infomation I ever wanted to know about anything is at my fingertips.

[ZonaPutaX]

A lot...!! I only got my own laptop in January (was using my sister's since Nov last year) and before that, used the local library... so i am addicted at the moment, learning new things and the freedom of being able to go on line when I want to it... it's magic and i love it...

I don't plan to spend all my days on it... sure , i'll get weaned off it by other things in my life soon, but right now, i think it's brilliant!

love

It's hard to say because I'm normally working on two things at once...but I'd say an hour a day is not working on my work...just spent researching, or being here

I probably spend too much time online. I also just got my laptop in January, after YEARS of using the school computers, borrowed computers, or doing it the old school way *gasp* without a computer. Like Chris, I'm normally "working" and goofing off at the same time. It probably does supercede my other leisure activities since I don't have much time for leisure anyways (And it's SO easy to surf the net while in a very boring class...)

Hmmm, beisdes working on papers and schoolwork and whatnot, my time on the net has SIGNIFICANTLY decreased lol, it used to be at least 5-6 hours a day, now it's like 3 if I'm lucky. xD but yeah, I usually go on the net everyday unless I'm like, totally sick, or something random happens like vacations...or just something xD lol, I love leisure time on here!! ^-^' =D

[MikeGotTalentz]

I actually took a 12 step program it feels..No I didn't but my non productive time on the net has decreased so much you won't believe it...But that's cuz I have a big project I am working on and putting 85% of my capacity into it.

As far as how much I spend on entertainment which includes this forum, business forums, chatting with friends, it depends on what I'm upto. If I have a project to work on that I'm really excited about, the only thing that happens is I come here to moderate or make a comment here and there when I take my 10 minute breaks...

That;s pretty much all I do on the internet really....it's surprising how easy my life is...

1. I'm either working on academic stuff
2. I'm either working on work stuff including the research which I love
3. I'm either here gaining lots of knowledge and relaxing
4. I'm either in one of the 3 business forums learning and making friends
5. I'm chatting with someone (now, this one is very rare..I don't even sign on to my instant messenger unless I have an appointment)

I don't know what else you could do on the internet...

Yes, it does mean about 90% of my free time on the computer is spent on this forum

on a different note

[ForumMasta]

My guess is several hours a day (average). I've cut down the last couple weeks as work demanded it. Drats to work... I work out of my home so I really have to stay on me or I'll just and

[Rellshare]

I average about a 1/2 hour to an hour a day

[LsrSRVxR]

Thanks for all the feedback. If you remove work and SHOPPING from the picture, my guess is I am on about 2 hours/day between forums, emails, researching stuff, etc.

Believe it or not but I get more jobs done around the place when I have the puter switched on than I do when its off. I post something, then I go and va***m, come back to the puter, check out a few more posts, answer a few and then go and do something else. I reckon though in total I probably spend about 3 hours on, but thats from about 6 i the morning to about 11 at night.
I daren't switch on msn messenger else I would be there all day cos with friends all over the world there is alwys someone to talk to no matter what time of day.
