I have to keep online 8 hours a day for my work now,sometimes I feel boring surfing on the internet.When I just learned how to use the computer,I was interested in it and alway keep online for a day.I didn't own a computer when I was a middle school student.And I just surfed on the net at school or in net bar.At the beginning,I addicted to the internet and always keep online day and night for chat with strangers or playing games. Gradually I was tired of internet,due to I had to stare at the computer the whole day after I found my first job.Surfing on the internet indeed can kill time,but sometimes I find nothing to do.So to me it is boring. Hey,mylotters what about you??do you have the same feelings?

5-6 hours? If it gets boring then maybe 2-3hours then if I'm doing something 5-6 or even 7-8 hours ^_~ You have lots of lots of things to do on internet, so I think that's why I'm not getting bored easily ^_~

I am on the computer 4-5 hours a day when I have free time. I have my sites that I like for making a little money and I have a blog. Also I use it alot for business. I love surfing the net, you can read about anything in the world. Many times I get on at night after my husband has gone to sleep and play for hours.

Well I Expirience the same as you did, till the time i got onto my first job... later things got tooo busy and due to work load and tiredness i coun't spare time for the net. I struggled a lot for 5 years towards my career enhancement, and when i felt i am done and well seatled, with scheduled professionl, personal and spare time i work on net. My work profile mostly be online and have to keep myself updated all about latest products and technologies. so its like i am woking 7 out of 8 hours online and later i use nearly five hours for my personal online and reading matters. i surf a lot of data online. over all i work around 12 hours a day online. The best part is I am still not bored of net, as I can get all of my data and keep updated with my knowledge, read news & blogs and do much more online. I personnaly am still not bored of INTERNET. Regards

I do freelance writing so I use the Internet a lot mainly for research etc... Because I haven't had much work lately I've been here on MyLot for a few hours a day because I enjoy it and I am making a little pocket money for myself, although I learnt a long time ago that I won't be retiring early from money I've earned on the net! The Internet is a wonderful medium; it sure makes the world a lot smaller!

I online whenever there is a computer in front of me. I have one at my workplace and I have one in my room too. Therefore, almost all the time I am awake, excluding eating, bathing, cooking, jogging..... , anytime I am in front of the computer, I definitely online at surf the internet. I go usually go to online shops and see what people selling. There are sometimes have something fanciful, cheap and nice and something I have never seen before. Alas, I tend to spend my money online too. In fact, my interest to go shopping at shopping mall has become less and less just because I am more comfortable to shop from home.

I used to only spend a little time online (like 2 hours per day) until I started to try and make this a full time job. Now I spend anywhere from 8 to 14 hours a day depending on how much I have to do.

I work on the Internet so I am on it sometimes for 20 hours a day and I have to say that I also am not an Internet surfer. If I am Looking for something in particular then I may surf for hours but I don't just get on and surf to be surfing!

I am never bored surfing the net because there is so much information and so many sites and I am always discovering something. Why do you have to stay online for 8 hours?

I spend a lot of time on the net, but it's only because of my work. My Last outing was in nature, and I completely forgot about the internet and all the things I use to see on my screen.

I do not surf internet for the sake of surfing or just for passing my time. I log in to sites, which appear useful to me and I work on mylot to get connected with my friends. I have no fixed hours of working. It may be 1-3 hours in a day. First of all I dispose of my pending tasks and then if I find time then only I go to mylot etc. I agree with you that working for long hours on internet/computer can affect our healthy and eyes.

Everybody shows a lot of interest in the new things and then the enthusiasm will fade away gradually. For me, I'm not the man who just love the new and loathe the old, but I will be tired for being tied to one thing all the time. I'm not Don Juan, but I'd like to be met with something different. Internet is a big lure for me, especially the games. But sometimes I really feel bored and empty after a long period of surfing. That is normal. Emptiness is one kind of human feelings that cannot be eliminated from our life.
