June 12, 201214 yr This morning I decided to get the lawn mower out and cut some grass, there I am pushing the mower along , and all I can think about is, I wonder if ive had any emails, or replies to my forum posts . Five minuets in and I have a burning desire to stop mowing the lawn and dash back to my computer screen to check things out . So this got me thinking , how many hours a day on average do you think that you sit at your computer , personally I think I'm sat at my computer between 4 - 5 hours a day . To find out if I am addicted to the internet , I took an on line test , and my score was - 50 so how many hours on average , do you think you spend sat in front of your computer every day . I took this test http://www.netaddict...d=46&Itemid=106 and got a score of 50 What score will you get ?
June 13, 201214 yr 41 For work I do Computed Tomography so on a computer a lot. I don't have cable TV, can't stand commercials every 6 minutes, so i spend my off work hours online.
June 13, 201214 yr absolutely ridiculous amount... i didn't take the test, as i already know i've got a problem...but (there i go making excuses!) a lot of the time i spend is at work during "free" hours. i often wish i lived in a time where there were no such thing as computers... i would probably have some semblance of an interest and hobbies and if i put as much time into something else as opposed to computers and internet time, i'd likely be a master at whatever it was i put that time into.

I used to, it was boring at work in those days.
June 13, 201214 yr 27, so I'm not addicted, but I spend 18 hours a day online. i resemble that remark. Laptop on coffee table. Its on whether im watching a movie working or what have you. I source all my entertainment (ie videos online), as well as eke out my living. i also have no problem just walking away from it all for a few days
June 13, 201214 yr My machine is on 24 hours a day, but that does not mean I am sitting there all the time, perhaps 3-4 hours a day, but then I am retired I scored 16 On a social level I am probably more obsessive about missing F1 races than getting in line and reading my e-mail.
June 13, 201214 yr 73 But I live online, I work online all day. And all night I'm either online working or while watching stuff from the computer on the telly.
