With more people spending more time on the internet, what are people doing less of now?
-
This is a hard question to phrase. Now that the internet can take up a lot of time in a persons life and with televisions having over 200 channels, is there something that these have replaced? Such as reading books or spending time with family. What are you thoughts?

Answer:
Spending time with family and friends is taking a big hit. I know that from personal experience. We don't have time to help people that need help. I'm guilty of that too. Seems like humans are more rude now in public. I don't know if that's from less face to face contact or what.

The more time people spend on the Internet, the less time they spend outside being active. They sit in a comfy chair or at a desk for, sometimes, hours on end surfing the net, chatting with friends, and checking email. Even kids are picking up on this trend. So instead of playing tag or cops and robbers with the neighborhood kids, they get online and play Internet pool, or something of that nature.

people are spending less time reading, cooking, spending family time together, and actually communicating one-on-one with other humans.

I think people, especially teenagers, are not learning how to socialize and are not participating in social functions with real, live people!! It's too much cybersocialization!
wondering...
I think Americans used to have longer work days, and come home to substantial work to do around the home. With modern technology a lot of free time became available... tv filled up that time and now the internet has taken time from the "tv time" Both watching the tv and surfing the web can become addictive and can take away valuable family time, work time, etc.
