Subject: How much time per day do you guys spend on the 'Net?
Written By: goodsin on 01/21/05 at 1:47 am
Just wondering, 'cos I only use the 'Net at work, giving a maximum possible of 9 hours per day- I probably only really use it for about 5 of those hours. I try not to touch a PC in my spare time, but obviously lots of you write on here from at home- just wondering how often, how long...

With correspondence and other things, at two hours, but with an oncoming university course it will be more.

24/7/365!! Home...work...even on my cell phone. Well, that's not to say that I'm constantly on the internet, but it's always on and never out of reach should I need it. I think it's an addiction!!! Maybe I need a 12 step program!! :D

:-\\ I never really keep track of how much time I spend online, but I can be sure that I'm here for several hours a day. So my answer is: Too much.
Modified to add: Most of the time I do spend online is on this site.

There's loyalty for you...
I've never really totted it all up (I tend to dart about in several directions at once), but I would hazard a guess at 3 hours weekdays and 4 hours Saturday/Sunday (depending if I'm bored/things need doing/people need seeing/cat needs feeding...)

For me there are two simple formula's that answer this question...
1. Most Posts=Biggest Mouth :D
2. Slowest Connection=Frustartion and LOTS of time spent :P
Okay....probably around 5 to 8 hours average ::)

Well, ever since I registered (on the old board) almost a year ago, I've been coming here regularly; it's been lots of fun. I don't come here every day, though. The weekend before Christmas we had lots of holiday preparation to do, including baking cookies, so that took priority over the computer; hence, I did not go online at all then.

I use to spend almost 9-10 hours but I've lessened it to about 6-7 hours a day or depends on the weekend.

I'm averaging around 2 hours a day. Really anytime that I get the chance, but school and homework interfere.

Maybe so! I work on a telephone line, our official company policy is any 'Net usage should not interfere with our work, and it's easy to just click into the screen I need for my job...actually, our department says we shouldn't really use the 'Net other than via an authorised portal (BBC!), but we have taken the attitude that if we all use it, they can't sack us all at once, plus one department shouldn't have a rule contrary to the company policy. ;)
I do spend most of my 'Net time on here, or on the BBC 606 Football messageboards. Those are pretty raucous, sometimes at peak times their mods don't get round to censoring stuff as quickly as they should, leading to some pretty ribald discussions- it makes InThe00s look positively serene at times. We also have an Intranet discussion forum at my workplace, but I don't use that very much, as I got into serious hot water for criticising the actions of an over-zealous project manager in the past.
If I suddenly disappear, you know what's happened to me! ;D

My work day is six hours, so it does give me more time to be online later on.

Too much! Maybe about an hour or so. I don't get as much time as before since I share a computer with my computer geek husband and our Nick Jr. loving son.

Too True.. i probably only watch around 7-8 hours of TV Per week now.. i just find messing round on the computer and going out are better alternatives. More creative.
