Me, everytime i wake up, then my pc also will be turned on... I have my internet connection for 24 hours a day every month. I pay my internet connection for unlimited connection for every month because its more expensive to have internet connection in the cafe and i dont have time to go out because of internet. Im tired everytime i go home, i have a lot of things to do, projects, tasks, assignments, and quizes exams to follow in the next day. I have no time to go out for internet cafe, and its convenience to me to have internet for my own purpose because i will not face the risk to lost my email account, nor people will use my account especially paypal if i forgot to signed out. Its trouble for me because many times i forgot to sign out from my account- friendster, facebook, mylot, and paypal. Hmmm... Its alos better to have my pc only with me and my mouse will not be contaminated with thousand hands. I think i become addicted to internet because a day without it... i feel difficult! Its difficult because there are many accounts i need to check everyday. I can online 24 hours and many times i didnt sleep at all... im still sitting in front my laptop!

I leave my computer on and online all the time - I know, I could save $$ but shutting things off but it takes so long to boot this puter that I don't have the patience to do so.

I gotta have my internet, like I gotta have my morning coffee. Sometimes I say to myself, " how did I ever live without internet access"? I have 2 laptops-- a Mac and a PC, and I have a wireless broadband internet connection subscription with Sprint. It's a bit pricey, but it is much more dependable than coffee shop wifi. Sometimes the wifi access lags, or is not available, but with a private subscription, you get a much more dependable connection.

Hello Pearl. You certainly gave me a very good impression as a very hard-working lady. That's excellent. Yes, I spend many hours a day online, because I have to do a lot of business related work on the computer. The whole day at my office, and some times continue on at home. Have a nice day !

I am online most of the time especially here in myLot. Right now i'm just using my phone but i still go online most of the time because internet usage is free. Lockheart taught me how. Back home, i'm using my computer. I got a DSL connection so i just leave my computer on all the time. Sometimes i would go outside my room to watch tv then leaving my computer while it's downloading something. I just leave my messenger on to just in case somebody wants to chat with me.

No. I have to go to the University and study. Sometimes, I bring my laptop with me to the University cafeteria and have a Wi-Fi connection there. Sometimes, when I come home, I use the unlimited Internet connection at home, but rarely. I need to do some important stuffs for my academics and the publication.

I go online two to three hours only and that's not everyday. I am only using a dial up. I am actually planning to have an unlimited internet connection since my dial up is so slow. I hope I can have a faster internet connection.

I also turn on the pc first thing in the morning!! I can keep it running the entire day. But I worry that my laptop will overheat so if I'm not doing anything important anymore then I power it off. But there are so many things to do and check when online, right? I love my laptop. And I love the internet more!

Hey with both Myspace and Facebook...who needs to get off the computer. Seriously though, the internet will become a bigger part of our lives later down the road.

I do think that I am online quite a bit. Not nearly as much as you though, probably. I am online for about 2-3 hours a day, more if I am off from work. Being online for the most part is my down time. It's only been recently that i have started to really explore ways to make a little money online, like with sites like mylot. There really is so much you can do online, and yes, I too miss it when I don't log on atleast once during a day.

I feel unhealthy if I'm on for over 2 hours a day. But I am usually on about 3 or 4 hours a day. Then I turn it all off so I can save some electricity and rest my eyes and see what is happening out side. Make sure to rest your eyes too!

Yes, I stay online a lot. Before joining mylot I used to go to sleep at 12o'clock at night. But now I spend hours and hours here. I don't sleep before 2am. Even one day I didn't sleep at night. i think I just got addicted to it. Even after getting up from sleep in the morning I open my mylot account to check whether I've got any new response or now. You will find myself online most of the time.

Internet is a necessity nowadays... if not, why would we even bother to pay internet monthly bill....
