The average person spends atleast 2.5 hours a week online. This is out of 6 billion people with 3/4 of them without internet.


The question is, what are you doing online?


And how do you entertain yourself with the internet?

2.Porn

That stat, i'm guessing, is very heavily skewed by the people in the world with no internet. 2.5 a week?? More than 10 years ago, during the dinosaur dial-up ages ("Mom, get off the phone!"), most people I knew and myself included were online 2.5 hours per day. And nowadays, I'm not even sure what being online means anymore. A lot of people I know have internet on their phones so they're always online basically.

Anyway, I'm always online at work (10-12 hours weekdays) and then for a few hours again at home so definitely the majority of the day, every day (unless on vacation).

So entertainment was the question:

Gmail
Youtube
Pandora
Google News
Drudge Report
Lifehacker
Consumerist
NMA
Hulu
Netflix
Zero punctuation
Homestarrunner
Something Awful
and pr0n, of course.
 
KQX you know thats like the age limit of peole in the medieval time. Of course if 4 of 6 infants (or something) die right after birth statistics say that the average guy doesnt get older past 35. But people definetly have been older then just 30. Friedrich Barbarossa was (probably) past 70 when he returned from Italy back to Germany and joined the crussaders.
 
I spend about an hour to an hour and a half online each day. I check;

-Two forums
-News for games and things of interest
-Email
-Free fun on youtube
-YTMND
-Research

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller

Ordinary day in the Internet life of Ratty the Rat:

1. Check Croatian news portals.
2. Pace angrily up and down my room/office to calm myself after checking the Croatian news portals.
3. Check a foreign portal like the Economist and read about military coups and cholera epidemics in African shitholes to make myself feel better about living in a European shithole.
4. Check my favorite tech sites like Slashdot, HardOCP, Beyond3D and others.
5. Check if my favorite webcomics (OOTS, VGCats, xkcd) have had updates.
6. Check a gaming portal or two, typically RPGCodex, RPGWatch, sometimes even GameRevolution.
7. Pace angrily up and down my room/office to calm myself after checking the gaming portals.
8. Check NMA. Post a one-liner in every new thread.
9. GOTO 1.
 
I usually start with nma and check for intresting topics, usually gaming related stuff. If something new intresting game title jumps out i may do some quick research from the web.
Then i respond to my received emails.
Check couple of "funny sites" and maybe search something from youtube.
Read news, from finnish sites.
Maybe search for intresting flash game and try it out.

Then i start my propably most net-time consuming action and start playing hold em. But i rarely play more than hour.
After that its again time to check nma and i turn my pc off if im not at the time hooked to some neato pc game.

I check my emails and nma during the day few times if im bored.
I usually keep messenger open at all times if my pc is on.
These actions take me about 1 - 2.5 hours a day

Sometimes i dont even use net for long periods of time :o

Like, in weeks.... just kidding. More like couple of days max.
 
Facebook
Talking on MSN
Last FM
Sports sites
2-3 Forums
Browsing the Cyanide&Happiness webcomic archives
Random research on Wikipedia

Pr0n should probably be considered a given for everyone and needs not be mentioned.

Hat trick Ratty!! If there was a Spilled Diet Coke through the nose award you should have it. :clap:

Mine are:

1) Get up, get ready.

2) Check Nuklearpower, CtrAltDel, Vgcats, Megatokyo, AlphaShade, Girlgenius, lfgcomic and marilith.

3) Go to work.

4) Work like a PCP addicted, ADHD suffering toddler.

5) Check theregister, tomshardware and nma.

6) Get FUCKING pissed after reading some arbitrary policy, news development regarding Dell.

7) Start slacking off reading particularly odd wikipedia articles.

8) Get pissed about my home computer's hardware and start budgeting a new one.

9) GOTO newegg, anandtech, maximumpc, pricewatch

10) Cry because I don't have enough monies to buy anything worthwhile.

11) Check anastasia international and pick a future bride.

12) Make elaborate, ridiculous, imaginary plans for our meeting and falling in love. Including subplots such as the ex-GRU Russian MILF who is the mother of said bride who must TEST me to find me worthy of her daughter. Less lurid plots include me rescuing my future brother in law from rebels in Chechnya by using what I learned in Jagged Alliance 2.

13) Get horny and try to find my way to the one individual bathroom for a quick slap the butifarra bout. Find the door locked. Curse loudly and wander off back to my desk with a visible boner.

14) Read some bullshit email from customer. Boner drops together with good will. Send stern email to customer.

15) Go back to my house. Browse amateur porn forum, particularly the pregnant and redhead sections, with my eye for pictures of women with hot feet. Have a wonderful jerk. Start playing JA2. Write particularly deviant erotic literature.

16) Go to sleep after a vigorous squeeze the chorizo game involving some rather odd fetishes.
