According to researchers, Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The teens spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family. How much time do you spend on the Internet?

It depends, on weekdays, I spend around 8-10 hours online (since I work for an online company) so thats about 50 hours for 5 days and about 8 hours on weekends. I'd say i spend close to 60 hours online per week.

I guess I am an internet addict+ lol. Before I found Mylot I was spending close to 28 hours a week online. Now, if I continue with the schedule I've been keeping since finding mylot it will be more like 60+ hours a week. However I am disabled and I do most of my socializing online as well as any suplimenting of my income that I can. So I see being online as my job and as my recreation. Therefore I am not online all that much. Because if I had a job that was 40 hours a week and replace that with 40 hours online then I am only on here about 20 hours for recreational purposes. (which I'm never on here for rec anymore because I am usually working.)

Gee, if that's how many hours an internet addict is online, then I guess I must be one lol. Although, in my defense, I don't really get to see people because I no longer am able to drive and get out of the house much. I look at being on the internet as a way of keeping in touch with the world. I belong to a lot of support groups, and try to help other people by being a friend. Then I have my discussion groups, like this one. I've met a lot of cyber friends, and without them I would probably be more lonely for human interaction. So, yeah....I guess I qualify for being an internet addict :-)

It really depends on the situation. At work, I am 8.5 hours in the computer and internet. When I go home, as much as possible, I sleep or spend time with my friends and family to balance my activities. Cheers!
