Since I've had a laptop and a smartphone, I can't believe how much time I spend on the Internet!

Be honest, would you like to wean yourself off the web and spend more time on other (more productive) things?

Days I'm hungover or on a long train journey I spend way too much time on line. Most days I don't have the time.

Being a website designer, it's kinda my job to be online a lot.

This (if you replace "designer" with "developer"). Although outside of work I still spend far too much time online.

Aspiring web developer here. I was wondering if you'd seen this : http://www.footytube.com/openfooty/karma.php. It's a football api with loads of detailed stats on teams, clubs, players, leagues etc. I found it really interesting, imagine the football sites you could build with it.

As for the original question, yes I spend far too much time on the internet. But with an unlimited amount of information available who can blame me.

If I were to view it as a total block of time over the course of a day then I don't think that I would say I do. However, if I had a separate way to see how many times I use it I'd probably say that it's too often...

Definitely but I sort of have to. I'm a SQL dev and pretty much need to stay learning constantly so I don't fall behind the curve.

I'm more worried about the vast quantity of oxygen I'm consuming than my internet time.
