I do not think the wife or I go a day without getting on the computer and using the internet every single day. We spend a great deal of time on it. How much time do others spend?

When I wander into the living room in the morning to drink the coffee my husband has prepared, the first thing I do is switch my PC on. I brush my teeth and wash as it's booting up then I'm on it all day apart from short periods where I garden, do housework, play Wii games or other "necessary" activities. I don't come off until it's time to go to bed!

Too much. But is how I make a living. Even with computer repair you may not always have the correct drivers or you may have to research something. It is nice those days that I do not get online, but they are far too rare.

I also sit at my computer a lot during the day! It is a habit I do not think I will ever be able to break away from. The wife gets a little upset with me when I have been on the computer to long and has to remind me their are more important things than research on the internet (like our kids).

Too much is like a great example of almost the perfect answer for so many. Right now I spend enough time online that I still learn something new each day but I am not bored when I get online each day.

Thank you all for your replies. I also feel like I spend too much time on it, but learn new things every day. We are to continue learning our entire lives so I am going to use that as my reason when asked why I spend so much time online, thanks!

I spend several hours a day being online, but that's mostly for work and because of that I don't usually remember to learn new things in this virtual world. Thanks guys for inspiring.

I work online, so typically, 8 hours. My longest work day was 14 hours and I'm NEVER doing that again. My wife goes on for about an hour a night to check her Facebook.

I am on it everyday too. I try to limit my time at night on it. I also don't get on until my kids are settled in and in bed or they are off doing something. I have to check out the sports pages everyday!
