mypaddedroom Posted September 4, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2004 (edited) Everyday I go on the internet for hours! Guess you can say it's my hobbie anyway I'm always told by others that's all I do and I do that to much. Now it's not like I live on the internet just when I do get on it I stay on it for hours! I know I'm not the only one that stays on the internet everyday right how many others go on the internet for hours also?

Seraphina Posted September 4, 2004 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I will be the first to admit I spend way too much time online...I have drastically cut down the time I spend on it recently (as some people might have noticed by my dimished time on the forum lately), but it still does take up a significant junk of my day. With University starting up again right around the corner, and a new job looming on the horizon, I'm sure my addiction is about to be cut back though, so it's all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ames2787 Posted September 4, 2004 #3 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Yeh same for me, in the holidays and I have endless hours of time to fill I spend a lot of time on the internet. I don't see anything wrong with spending a lot of time on it as long as it's not stopping you from doing other important stuff, or it's letting down your friends or something like that. When I go back to college though my time on the net will be seriously diminished so I won't have to worry abotu spending hours on here anymore lol.

gabe Posted September 4, 2004 #4 Share Posted September 4, 2004 i don't do anything else, and i don't see a problem in it. So i don't give a crap how much time i spend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ames2787 Posted September 4, 2004 #5 Share Posted September 4, 2004 It only becomes a problem if it affects your health or your turning down friends and family to spend time on the internet. Otherwise whats wrong with it? Personally I would only be lying around my house doing nothing else, at least if I can go on the net I can work on my site and learn new things everyday.

mypaddedroom Posted September 4, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Glad to see I'm not the only one who spends a lot of time on the internet! I think it's a great way to pass the time and also have fun doing it. As long as it don't ct into you doing something important it's ok. And come to think about it others who tell me I'm on it to much need to shut up! It's better than watching tv at least on the net your doing something phisical.

Seraphina Posted September 4, 2004 #11 Share Posted September 4, 2004 (edited) Reading isn't physical either, dude In fact...you were closer with typing Edited September 4, 2004 by Seraphina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypaddedroom Posted September 4, 2004 Author #12 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Well to me reading is a good thing on the net so whatever DUDE???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphina Posted September 4, 2004 #13 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I'm not saying it's not a good thing...I'm just wondering how you would apply the adjective "physical" to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seventh_son Posted September 4, 2004 #14 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I'm not saying it's not a good thing...I'm just wondering how you would apply the adjective "physical" to it LOL!!! Consider this, in a 3 hour stint on the net we will most likely have to visit the bathroom at least once maybe twice = physical Make a coffee or soda run at least twice = physical Answer the phone=physical answer the doorbell = physical, and many more examples may blend their way into any given session.

mypaddedroom Posted September 4, 2004 Author #16 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Well all I'm saying is that the interent is better than just sitting there watching tv all day. At least on the net you type read search do things like that. Oh yeah and argue with fellow forum users Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurnSide Posted September 5, 2004 #19 Share Posted September 5, 2004 heheheheh In truth, i go on the internet at home maybe for 30 mins a day. It's at work i get all these posts done. Something to pass the long, boring hours, especially since all other sites are blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ames2787 Posted September 5, 2004 #20 Share Posted September 5, 2004 If you're going to apply that logic it's no more physical than watching telly cos surely you have to go to the bathroom get a soda and that whilst doing that anyway? I think you can spend too much time on the internet if you're on it all day and everyday for months on end cos then it would seem you're not doing much else and that's not a particularly great thing.... IN MY OPINION! Plus I value the net more once I've been off it for a couple of days or so... Ames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ames2787 Posted September 5, 2004 #23 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I think it's cool you can still think of things to post after all this time lol. I spose once you get into it though you become more aware of the different topics and more able to give your opinion on them. Oh and Burnsy in Debates could you remind jpalz to post on the best rock music debate cos I don't wanna do it and get misconstrued as that being my first post!
