Spending too much time on internet

HOS 1997

Lately I reckon I have been spending far too much of my time browsing the internet. I'm on the internet on my phone while travelling to work, during the day when not busy or on a break and then on it for a few hours most evenings and weekends.

In the new year I am going to reduce the amount of time I spend/waste on the internet but was wondering how much time everyone else spends browsing.

I spend hours every day on my laptop. It's hard to imagine life without it...what did I do before? I never spent as much time on the PC as I do on my laptop .

I would agree. I am going to try to do the same myself. But, because a PC is now a converged Home Entertainment system it's hard not to.

For example, my home PC is a PC; a Hi-Fi; a Video Editing Suite; and a mini-Office amongst others.

Sign of the times I suppose.

I'd like to buy the rights to that story. I'll give you €100,000 right now (or £78,000 if you prefer to wait until the new year).

Don't worry. It's the natural progression. Evolution at it's finest. It might seem strange, but we are slowly turning into machines. Just go with the flow.

This is the way of the world, thanks be to world.

When you figure out how to do that let me know, because I need help.

I eat at the pc. And my room is an en-suite so I leave the bathroom door open and look at a webcam when I shower. . . . .

So in order to tackle this problem . . . .you make a thread on an internet forum?

And why wait til the new year? If you want to reduce it, why not do it now?

Same as fat people saying they'll lose weight in ''the new year'' while downing pints on new years eve. :rolleyes:

Why fight it?

Become a web/software developer or system admin or whatever else. Then you'll go to work and spend all day on the internet
