Do you lead a real/virtual life or a balance of both?

[kiddo]

Many of us here are net addicts, run sites, some are uploaders, others are tech's and coders etc. I can bet several in here spend hours on the net and on Warez.

Do you think you give enough time to your family and friends, talk to them, go out with them or rather lead a virtual life on the computer? Or do you have proper balance of both?

In my case the net and my site has eaten up the whole of me and its difficult to get out of this. Is this the same with you'll? Discuss...

i have a nice balance of both,well i have to considering i have a young child. There is more to life then the interwebz

I guess I'm one of those hardcore antisocial geeks... It's not normal at all, I know. But even if I had no Internet access, I'd be the same Jason like now, only difference would be, that I wouldn't be Online. And that I'd probably be a junkie...

 

[pankaj0010]

well, being a students i lead a totally real life..only a few hours of net

 

[thefboo]

only few hours max..but its throughout the day coz i`m not online for more than 15mins at a time..

 

[David.Scott]

Not a favorable balance of both..I think I am slowly transitioning from a real life to a virtual one.

 

[rko]

Balancing is what Facebook was made for

 

[Hillside]

That's not your real life mate. Its social networking on the internet. Ultimately its the internet world. By balance I meant the real world.

Its not normal at all, I work (coding) 24/7 just like a hosting server

@Coder Xpert, +1

no body knows if i am dead or alive in my room, sometimes it feels like curse, sometimes like a power, only a few people can understand if elses and other fucking jargons.

selling popcorn around any theater or school is better than this fucking virtual life !!!

I haven't balanced them, and its being it's hard for me to balance them and almost possible, but i can say that internet is surely being a trouble for my studies.

Deactivated my facebook account months ago, I have people on MSN. Just got back from 4 months vacation, 4 months without internet. I logged in 3-4 times max for around 30 mins just to check news on internet and see how my buddies are doing but that's it. So I'm pretty sure I'm not addicted to internet...

 

[DeLeTeD]

well my real life is connected, reason why I am on all day long

 

[Daniel]

My life is about the internet and my daily job. That's it.
