Oh, wait a second. That's all the time. Everyday. Right now even.
I'm not joking when I say that I would be a helpless pile of quivering, confused mush if the internet wasn't consistently at my fingertips.
Let's look at my jobs:
The Newburyport Daily News - when I'm not in the office, I NEED email to send my story and pictures over. I NEED email to get in touch with potential features. I NEED email to talk with my editor.
NPR Digital Services - There is no aspect of this job that does not revolve around an internet connection.
The Metal Observer - It's an e-zine.
How about school?
Fiction Workshop - I use the internet constantly to research ideas, places, things, etc. to make my story as believable and realistic as possible. Email is also a huge part of me having the capability of writing on a different computer and then sending the updated version to myself.
Electronic Rhetoric - Yeah.
The major reasons why the internet domineer my life are as broad as they are pathetic. I think it's about time we all junk our PCs or Macs or whatever and start counting stones again.
Who's with me?
