If your responsibilities are somewhere in between, I say no more than 2-3 hours a day. |
i'm glad the gods of the internet appointed Dionysus as "director of time spent on the internet."
i say do you. i feel like people who spend "too much" time on the internet probably know it already. i dont think being married/havng children should stop you from web surfing.
i would relate net addiction to any other addiction: if youre doing it so much that it interferes with your daily life (ie, you skip work, forget to pick up the kids, stop bathing) or you start to feel guilty about said activity, then its a problem.
PS - i spent many a friday/saturday nites in college web surfing for hours on end. does that make me a loser? not really, considering i couldve been out drinking my life away in some shady bar. in which Dionysus will be appointed as "head of college partying and other random sh!t" and then tell me how many drinks qualify me to start rethinking my priorities.
