Alko....3 hours is only too long if you are supposed to be teaching children at the same time .....or getting paid to work at something anyway :)

Hoff...do YOU think you spend too long on the internet? :)

I must make sure I don't write it in any Christmas cards : )

Evening Keith.

In answer to your question Rose ;

I don't think the work place is the right place for chatting on the internet.......I don't doubt people do but 3 hrs a day is a bit much !

I'm lucky that there are a fair number of us in the house and we all battle amongst ourselves to get on the pc.....so it's self regulating really........thank God or I'd be stuck on here all day every day : ))

Evening Stella, well I have been out all day and haven't missed it ...but then I was in good company doing something interesting .... it is when I am at home that I tend to keep drifting back on the computer...just 'to see what's happening' lol

internet disrupting your family or working life?

from the BBC ..

"A teacher, accused of spending hours on the internet " (around 3 a day apparently ) " during class time, using social network sites, has been found guilty of professional misconduct. "

How long on the net is too long? can you go a day without logging in to your favourite sites? has a relationship suffered because you or partner, or children spend too long 'chatting to strangers' ? Does it worry anyone that we maybe now communicate at a distance better than we communicate close to?

I knew I had spent too long on here when I was typing a letter to someone and put " LOL" in it ...lol!
