    Has internet become a part in your daily life style? How much time do you
    spend on the internet, on a daily basis? How will you react if you are deprived of internet access anywhere for about one week? Will you be sad or will it make no difference to you any way?

    Well yes Internet has become a part of my daily life.

    I spend about 14-16 hours online daily.

    If I were deprived of Internet for a week, I'll possibly keep trying to get access to the Internet from anywhere and would be super sad on my bad luck.

    The internet is now part of my daily routine due to having my own websites and such things i am very dependant on the internet,

    I spend to much time on the internet thats for sure but having busy sites means being a busy person, Although hopefully this will change when I get an almost automated system in place.

    If i was to lose internet access i would definalty be in the nearest internet cafe carrying on with my day to day work.

    No, not a part. It has taken over completely.

    My groceries come from Ocado, ordered online delivered to my house. Flights, books, clothes everything comes from online. I work online and a lot of entertainment is online as well. All news comes from online and I watch more TV online than on TV.

    Does that sound a bit sad? :D

    I don't even go online.....for less then 10 hours a day. It's become my life pretty much but it also comes with a 6 figure payout, so I'm not too upset.

    It is a major part of my life yes.

    But I can live without. I don't spend too long on the computer daily. Maybe two or three hours. I do ofcourse have the occasional 8-10 hour stint. It depends whats happening really. If my site is needing updated I may spend more time on the net than usual. When my site was hacked I must admit I spent close to 24 hours getting everything back the way it was.

    The internet has become a pivotal part of my life. I have two separate lines to both my office and home, and while I spend 10 hours per day or more online, I no longer watch television. In fact, anyone who buys a big screen tv is nuts......The internet is everything, and everything is the internet.

    The internet is almost a god. Every time my connection goes down, I get extremely angry. I'm thinking about upgrading to a faster speed next year, but I'm not sure.

    My entire working day is spent online. I work from home, so I make a point of taking my dog to the dog park every day, and taking my sons to the park, etc.

    Probably 12-16 hours a day spent online though, and that's on a normal day.

    My life would grind to a halt without the internet. It's almost unbearable when I go out of town to visit the folks and have to deal with DSL and a 5 year old comp still running ME.
