How much time do you personally spend on the internet?
With me if I get 3 hours a week that's a lot because I don't have internet at home.
I personally get very bored after about an hour and have just about had enough today even though I've only been on for less than an hour.
I guess I have better things to do than stare at a screen for hours on end. :^(

A couple of hours a day. Usually before or after work.

A few weeks ago I started trimming Internet time. At some point I realised that I wasn't reading many books. Books that I had bought 4-5 years ago were just sitting on my room's bookshelves. At some point I decided to cut browsing time. Sure I´m writing less on the forum, but I came to the conclusion that that doesn´t make me less of a fan. It isn´t like I was a big contributor anyway, and like someone said "everyone's essential, but noone's necessary". Right now I'm happy to say that I've read two very interesting history books after I decreased my online activity. Furthermore, I'm in the middle of changing jobs.

The Internet was taking a lot of my time, I wasn't exercising (gained a few pounds) and was finding difficult to concentrate on the job hunting. I still go online, but the nature of the activity has changed, if in the past it was a message board I'm now twitting and downloading podcasts which I listen to while on my way to work/home. I want to learn a new language also, it's really hard to find time for everything. Anyway, I think the Internet is great, I couldn't imagine my life without it. To answer the question, It's down to an hour now.

Too much.

[ledzepfvr]

I spend maybe about 45 minutes at home in the evening. I spend all day practically on computers at work.

I spend a good part of the day in my home office working on the computer, but that is for work. For my personal time I spend about ninety minutes checking my sites and playing one specific game to unwind just before I go to bed for the night. Northstar.

As i am unemployed at the moment I spend hours on this website, (I know sad bastard). I like sifting through the threads from years ago. I tend to use this site in the early hours of the morning, every morning..

[LedZeppfan77]

Spent my entire day on the phone with Netgear support. Router issues. Fun. This HP printer, all in one 6500 has me very pissed off.

[Led Zep Girl]

I'm on it waaaaaayyyy too much. But, only on my days off. I don't have internet on my phone & I refuse to buy a laptop or an ipad because, then I would be on it even more than I need to be.

[Victoria7]

I have so much many research papers I have to do and the internet is handy in doing that, but other than that I am on it about 45 min a day? That's a lot!

[Kiwi_Zep_Fan87]

Since I have just finished my days at University, I have a lot of free time on my hands (until I find a job, etc.)...so for the next 2 or 3 months, my time on the computer will probably be triple in comparison to the last 5 years when I was really busy with Uni work.

[LedZeppfan77]

I just backed up my files on a flash drive and used Norton and used drive E.  Would this be the correct location using a memory flash drive device?  Anyone know?

[ZEPFAN17]
