I was just wondering how many hours I've spent on the 'net since I first got it.
I figure, we got it around 9 years ago.
I've spent an average of about 2 hours on it a day (some days much more, some days none at all).
For you calendar wizzes, there are 365 days in a year (screw leap year)
After breaking out the TI-83, I concluded that I've spent 6,570 hours on the internet. That's the equivilant to 273.75 days.
I spend way too much fucking time on it.
If it weren't for the internet, I'd be super healthy and mad smarter.
If it wasn't for the internet I'd be a millionaire by now.
I feel the exact same way. If not for the internet I'd have mad guitar skills and read important things more.Quote:

I was off and on, so I could say all day.
Too much, if you want to include all the free-time I had during work hours doing nothing.
Who knows, I've been doing this shit since before the internet.
BBS fo life bitches.
I'd say I spend more time on a computer than not. Its pretty weak.
I blame all of you people for my internet usage.
On the front page it says "How much time have you spent on the..." and somehow I knew the rest said, "internet."
I've been on for almost nine years. The first site I ever went on was that stupid Hamster Dance site on a shitty Mac using Netscape.
EDIT: In it's original form :D
The new version is probably about 1,000 times more annoying.Quote:

But I guess it keeps me in contact with my friends at other schools, and has been a gateway to the majority of my interests (music, anime, games etc).
So I guess it's a double edged sword type thing.
Without the internet I seriously feel lost. Just staring at a page I've read ten times is soothing, as is knowing I could find out almost anything about anything instantly.
I remember getting online for the first time in either late '98 and early '99, and now I spend quite a bit of time on it. Without it, I never would have started down my current career path, and it's kept me in touch with some old friends as well. It's a great tool for learning, and it's also been a convenient resource for stuff that stores rarely carry (like Lupin DVDs). I probably spend a few hours a day actually using the web, with most of the other time just signed onto IM services in case I'm needed for something.
I am signed on to AIM for weeks at a time.
I'm like..totally addicted to the internets.
that kind of goes with out saying for anyone that lives in the south AND has money. It is iether this or drive around sonic all night.
I really only go on the net when I'm at work. Nights and weekends, I usually stay away.

Since I'm a webmaster, I spend nearly eight hours a day on the internet (TNL taking up a good portion of that time). Thankfully, it's a different story when I get home, but if I have to use a computer there (whether for a part-time gig or an animation project), I'll probably waste an hour or so online before getting any work done.
