How much time do you spend on the Net...?

    I was just thinking there last night that I am probably on the net nearly twenty hours a week, nearly a full day.

    Is this excessive or not and how often would you spend a week on the net...?

    Are people on the net for more time than they are actually watching tv.

    Well I almost exclusively use it from work, so I'd say its upwards of five hours a day - at least.

    Just did my sums, and I average nearly 28 hours a week. :eek:

    That's definitely coming down. Thanks to the OP for highlighting this.

    On the other hand, I watch virtually no telly, maybe less than 2 hours a week, so I still have time to get my 7 seconds of exercise in needed to get me in supreme physical shape. ;)

    I'm a IT professional so I sit infront of a computer 8 hours a day min, and I do use the net pretty heavily while I work so that counts. I also play online games and surf in the evening so I'd say in total I probably spend about 11hours or so a day on the net.

    about 2 hours a day, only use it at home

    A very long time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,739 ✭✭✭Naos


    I use it in work, so 8 hours a day minimum.

    A minimum of 8 hours a day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701


    i dont know/ its hit and miss these days, could be 3 hours could be 10 but when i was younger it was a different story. Insane... 24/7 (i was into clans back in the day and my zone (if anyone of you remember it) was on 24/7 with the volume always on, so even if i was not awake using the net if someone in my clan needed something i was almost always there, even sleaping i would wake up when i got the message.)

    That was a different time though, from what i have seen of the current online gaming generation its not something i want to be a part of, far too much imaturity, they way they talk and interect ect. Especially the modern CS'ers some of them are very odd...

    according to goole web accelerator i've loaded 12.8 days worth of pages at home in the lat year and a half, which comes to 447,294 pages. thats an underestimate tho.

    and yes i have real friends.

    8 to 4 Monday to Friday. Half work related, half dossing. Then maybe a bit in the evening and a fair bit at weekends. I don't watch tv at all really. All my Premiership football is watched through streams so that adds a few more hours.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,813 ✭✭✭themadchef


    I'd guess 2-3 hrs a day, not my full attention, but logged on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,165 ✭✭✭DEmeant0r


    My course revolves around computers, so I'd say i'm on the computer for 6-9 hours a day and half of that is spent on the net.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,644 ✭✭✭kev_s88


    id say about 45/50 hours a week but thats including my IT job

    About the same ^^ because of work .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    Way too much. My computer is on and connected to the net most of the day so I'd guess around 8 or 9 hours, broken up to watching stuff online, online games, forum trolling.. etc.

    Since I started this job - 10 hours a day, 4-5 days a week. Yikes!

    Usually very little though.

    During the week - 14+ hours a day

    Sat/Sun - 20+

    so I average about 110 hours a week :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54 ✭✭ejvilla


    Monday - Thursday... easily 14-15 hours a day, significantly less at the weekend... It's amazing that I don't look like that warcraft guy in southpark.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,234 ✭✭✭Malteaser!


    I don't even want to count the hours, I just know it's way too much!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Too much is the only safe answer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭qwertplaywert


    On Average about 3/4 hours a day during week, much heavier on weekend-could be pushing the 10's on some days. Scary!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,563 ✭✭✭Duff


    Alot..


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 24,146 Mod ✭✭✭✭robinph


    You are not on the interweb much at all if your only spending 20 hours a week online. Would be much easier for me to add up how many hours I'm not online in one way or another, but I'm not going to.

    Probably about 60 hours a week online(including gaming), maybe about 55 hours watching TV (sometimes I do turn it off while gaming), 48hrs sleeping, 40hrs in work and 12hrs commuting.

    All that wasted time in work and commuting... :(





    :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,216 ✭✭✭Kur4mA


    I spend between 7-8 hours in work and 1 or more at home 5 days a week and then probably a little less at weekends. So quite a bit I guess. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭Wazdakka


    Tooooooo much
    But hey.. The internet is deadly..
