How much time do you spend online?

How much time do you spend online? Does the amount of time
you exist in this virtual world bother you?

I've noticed I spend almost as much time online as I do in
the "real" world, and I'm not sure if that is something I
should be disturbed by, or not. I do know that it is ruining
my ability to revise or deal with things that are far more
urgent and pressing. Of course, that's not the internet's
fault-if wasn't online, I'd probably be loosing hours making
music, and there's the obvious issue of self-discipline-but
it does seem to be strangely addictive.

It's probably the fact that, with the internet, you can find
exactly what interests you, non-stop. It's just a few words
and clicks away. In the real world, you have to trawl
through books, meet lots of people, and do a lot of things
before you stumble across exactly what you want. I'm not
exactly going to meet people down the pub by the bucketload
who share an obsession with audio editing and wanky debates
on religion, am I? You'll meet the odd person, but
in-between there's a lot of duff stuff to trawl through in
"real life".

I'd bet it's quite a bit, but not so much that it bothers
me, nor does it interfere with anything I do otherwise; the
time I spend on the internet is time I usually don't do
anything special (like wednesday afternoons) and in the
breaks I take in reading/writing for my philosophy stuff...

i'd answer the thread question, but this non-response is
actually more interesting than the real response.

It's not that much. When I've got nothing to do in real life
and my friends are all busy, internet is a good hobby for
me.

i never said you were calling anybody but yourself spazmo.
nevertheless, i acknowledged your identity as spazmo, but
for different reasons entirely. and now you are calling me
spazmo. i guess you win *this* round. thank god the lunch
hour's almost over...

A Large amount of time..

My computer is about a foot from my bed,my sofa,my
kitchen..and only a hop and skip away from a toilet...So its
a good place to be.

I don't think it's too much of a bad thing to be online so
frequently though .. I mean most other people would be
wasting their time watching brain-melting soul-stealing
television..Hmm

i have internet access infront of my face 8 hours a day, 5
days a week. that's 40 potential hours of internet time if i
didn't have work to get done.

I am online on several websites at the same time. This
multiplies my online time. 6 hours a day I'd say...
multiplied by 10... 60 hours a day for me

Im on the computer whenever I'm at home, or at school, or at
work. (We have a workshop with a dual monitor beast) So I
guess that equals all the time. Except weekends, I havn't
forgotten how to party just yet.

i do 8-11 hours per day.. 8 at work and 0-3 after work

it's an interesting topic i think.. personally i don't find
it good that everybody tends to make friends online and
passes most of his freetime chatting to people..
at the other side it's the best and easiest way to meet the
people with same interests.. but it splits us all up into
interest-groups and all will end up in a bunch of groups
which do not interact anymore.. people only meet people who
do the same things and somewhere all becomes very boring
doesn't it?

a good balance between real and online life shouldn't be
lost.

i'm online mostly while at work.
8 hrs per day 5 days a week. on weekends i rarely even turn
on the computer lately. got two fantastic friends to spend
all the free time with. well, if some good internet friends
supposedly can write me an email i'm doing my best to check
the mailbox. Wanna see them all in person, by the way.
and not listening to music lately. wanna go outside but have
to work.. only the unemployed can enjoy the spring.

very little compared to the amount of time i used to spend
online. it would probably be more if i had an internet
connection at my place of residence.
