I have been thinking about blogging a lot lately, the phenomenon and Internet. I have also been about to write every evening but since I became a mum I find it really hard to find the time. After our son arrived something happened with time. Time went fast before but nothing like this, it´s amazing.
I feel so happy I have managed to continue with my course and now it’s just this and two more semesters left. I have had a bad conscious about studying but I tell myself I do it for my son and it will be to his benefit to have a mother that is pleased and happy with her job in the future.
About the virtual world, it annoys me how much time you can spend there, surfing, blogging, chatting, facebooking etc. Is it time well spent? Or is time that you "loose" and that you could have done something better with?
What if a government or state wouldn´t allow their citizens to surf the net more than an hour per day, would it be beneficial to society and would people then spend their time doing more "useful" things?
I can’t even remember a world without the Internet anymore.............................................
I have noticed that I can spend hours just surfing. It starts with one page and then I follow the links and remember funny things I can check and find new links. And there goes three hours of my life! I'm really trying to limit my surfing now.
SvaraRaderaI have the same experience as Lilli - once I'm sitting by may computer time just disappears! Sometimes I feel it is time well spent, but just as often it's just time slipping through my fingers..
SvaraRaderaAn interesting thought, Jenny, that someone could restrict the time we spend surfing. I don't have any numbers to quote, but I think the time people spend using some form of media (listening to music, watching TV, surfing the internet, "moving" around in the social web, playing video- or computer games) is increasing steadily at the cost of reading books and newspapers, being and playing outdoors or just relaxing - even sleeping!
Good or bad?
I have the same issues here as well. One gets so easily lost in the internet and times just flyes away. And from where we take this time away? From the loved ones? Sleeping? Working? Sports? Probably from all of those...
