I was reading another thread on how much time people actually spend on their computer.

I was wondering as far as social interaction..how your computer time weighed up against the 'real time' you spend with family and friends.

I'm not AT ALL suggesting 'real time' is more real. I don't feel that way. My online friends are just as real as my face to face friends. I just couldn't think of a better descriptive word.

I happen to PREFER online socialization. I can wear my boxers, not brush my hair and pull the plug when I'm done. It works for me.

How about you?

I wanted to add that in our house....each of us has our own puters in our rooms and often email back and forth about dinner or movies rather than leave our room! HAHA!
