I am nearly on the computer from the time I get up in the morning until I go to bed at night. Though I do take three to four hour breaks during that time to spend with my family and get other things done, like chores around the house and get errands that need to be ran and gotten out of the way.

Yep it is, but I am sure as things really get going business wise that I will be able to further cut back on the time I spend on the computer. Right now I am basically doing everything on my own, so if I don't spend that much time, than nothing would really get done.

I am also like you. All but half a day I sit infront of computer. Actually, I like it & I want to increse time for computer. I think it is more well to gossip with my online friend than gossip with my local friends. Or discussion topic may remain same for the both.. it is just a matter to recognize.

I am on the computer for at least 10 or more hours a day. I check my E-mail when I first get up in the morning, and look at a few sites occasionally. Then I get to work and spend the majority of my day using my computer to do whatever tasks I need to complete. When I get home from work, I usually have more sites to check and E-mail to look at. I try to take a break from the computer at some point in the evening, but some days I am on the computer almost non-stop from about 6:30 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. Those days are the worst!

I don't pay much attention to how long I'm on the computer in a day. I get on a few minutes here, an hour there... I don't chat online but I do surf some, email, research, participate in several points/money earning sites, and enter mystery shop reports.

Mystery shopping is going to restaurants, stores, and other businesses and reporting on the service you receive. There are a few companies I work for, getting free meals, products, and services and often getting paid a fee too. I enter the reports directly onto their websites.

I am addicted by computer just as you. When I get up at mid night I straitly go to my comuter desk, and start to boot it. I left writing on paper it seem much easy to work on computer than plain paper. I record here my minutes and progress of my work. Computer is my best friend and I got many friends through computer and internet. But some thing like viruses and defects make hindgerance and we face tough time with out computer.

I think I spend from 6-10 hours online a day. That number keeps getting smaller and smaller though since I am a college student and have a job, which leaves me no time to sleep lol. I don't think its a bad thing to be online so much depending on what you're doing. If you are on myspace 24/7 like Tila Tequila, but NOT making a living, then maybe you should do something else... But there is so much information here that it would probably take you a year or two to read it all if you could (maybe even longer). There are also a lot of opportunities online. I have a friend who found her spouse online, and I have another friend who found lost family online, I have found people to conduct bussiness with here online, and I am also learning how to read and speak different languages such as Japanese, French, and Russian ^_^ Im sure this was too much info, but who cares, right? Besides I just made a HUGE breakfast and there is no way im moving from this spot for another hour or two (im soo full)

I probably spend about 12 hours a day on the computer. I do work on my computer, forums (like this one), correspondence with friends, and lots of writing. I also keep a blog. I don't do a lot of surfing, just work type things, and a few fun things, like Mylot.

I spend about 8 hours a day. I have a home business and I'm trying to do just about everything. I'm thinking about outsourcing work in the new future. The internet is so addictive...
