Documenting my internet use for a week is going to be a daunting task, it puts into perspective how much time you waste online. For the last two days I have been online for a total of like 12 hours. I almost have a routine I wake up check my ufl.edu email and immediately after I check my other two accounts on hotmail and gmail. I have a slight obsession when it comes to checking my email but I'm lazy when it comes to actually replying. I only reply to those that are absolutely necessary. After all the emails I go off to the lovely website facebook... usually to see if anyone has posted on my wall or noticed any changes in my profile. I know its pathetic but facebook is the new social network of today. People rather use it then actually speak face to face call or email. Some TA's even use it to check out their students and get to know them.
Besides social networking and email I use the internet at work after teaching. I connect to MSN to see if anyone is on that I can chat to... while I plan for my class using power point. Lately I have been using Mozilla because it doesn't freeze up... more later~

I agree with you that this project does shed a bit of light on "how much time we waste online," as you so eloquent put it. But if you're enjoying what you're doing, is it really wasting time?
I use Facebook too, but I never have really been able to get into those social networking sites, like MySpace. But different strokes for different folks, right?
(By the way, I'm in the TIFLE class at USC.)
