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

BobbyD10

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.

phasers

not much, I have real friends

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.

bitemybanger

about 2 hours a day, only use it at home

The guy

A very long time.

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

A minimum of 8 hours a day.

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...

Fajitas!

Way too much.

9 til 5, 5 days a week and then a few more hours a week at night.

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.

themadchef

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

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.

kev_s88

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

About the same ^^ because of work .

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.

the dee

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

Usually very little though.

I'm on it about 5ish hours a day probably more, i don't watch TV anymore, i download everything and watch it when i want :cool:

Baudelaire

During the week - 14+ hours a day

Sat/Sun - 20+

so I average about 110 hours a week

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.

Malteaser!

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

TerrorFirmer

Too much is the only safe answer.

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!!!

Duff

Alot..

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.

Reku

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...

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.

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