text: what do you think about people who spend too much time on internet ?   too much time is really a subjective question, some people spend all their time on the internet, either because it is a part of their job, or because they are house bound and it is their only link to the outside world.  for many it's easier to socialise remotely than physically.  on the other hand if a healthy and easygoing person is becoming depressed and chronically obese because (s)he has developed an obsession with internet access, this could be a symptom of some deeper emotional problem.
