Yes, it is indeed. I can believe how many hours i spend on internet. My average of hrs spending on internet is about 16h/day!!!!!!! Which means 112h/week, including Sundays; which means 5840h/year
That's a lot of my time, that’s a lot of my life! Thats time that i should spend in something else. Perhaps right now, I should be doing something else (having sex, doing yoga, reading a book, listening to music, or painting) but instead I am here writing on my blog.
A summary of a normal day for me: I get up in the morning around 8 00 am; if i am not too sleepy. I go to the bathroom, then, to the kitchen, I make coffee. I TURN ON my laptop to check my emails, facebook, log in on skype and I check the weather for that day. Finally I get ready, and as soon I get to work, I set up my laptop and there you go INTERNET again. So, I do a second checking of my emails, which is a total waste of time! I don’t really need to do this twice. Anyway, the day goes by, I try to do some lab work, I probably will have a meeting or a lecture during the morning or in the afternoon but not matter what I do, I always find time again to check INTERNET!!! It is actually driving me crazy and is def addicted! At some point that I DON’T leave my laptop alone, I always carry it with me.
I think that a lot of people is having the same problem and are dealing with this same issue. We must stop it! This new way of living is killing relationships, friendships, communication skills and so on. I even communicate with both my boyfriend and flatmates on internet all the time and we leave in the same place! We use either facebook to send messages or skype to organized stuffs. We don’t use a cellphone anymore; we don’t talk too much anymore! Do I really need internet that much? I don’t think so.
I know internet as its advantages, I do not have doubts about it. Especially when you leave so far away from your hometown…internet is my contact point with them. My point here is that our life has changed without even realize it! We are victims of this new era of internet which has slowly taken our life as we were used to have it! Life is not private anymore, anyone could know about you, where you live, how your house looks like or you pets, whether your status is at the moment know were your exactly at that moment! or even see pictures of your family !!!! Anyways, this is my reflexion of the day. From now on (and hopefully I will manage to do this), less internet hours a day, perhaps I ll try to reduce them at least to 10.
Look at the winddow and see how beatiful is out there: Bergen from the top of Fløyen
