Do You Spend As Much Time Online As Others Do?

Regardless of what kind of office environment you are in, you will notice that almost everyone is typing away and using a computer to do something. Are these individuals actually getting work done, or do you think they are playing games or shopping online? Have any studies been done to determine the number of employees who shop online at work? Most likely there have been studies like this conducted, and it makes you wonder whether using a computer is a good thing or not. We all rely so much on the Internet these days.

The aspects of a computer that makes life easier is not something to complain about. You don't even have to get your bills mailed to you anymore because so many companies are now going paperless. That is simpler for you and better for the environment. It is also easier to send out invitations to parties and keep in touch with all of the social media and party planners helpers online.

Music CD's are becoming a thing of the past as well since you can go online, type in a music artist or genre, and listen to all kinds of music for no charge. You can even listen to a song and chat with family and friends online at the same time. Does using a computer alone mean you are an antisocial person who socializes online? Can you be by yourself while communicating with others simultaneously?

Every individual who uses a computer has to think about whether they are going online too often and not spending enough time doing other things. If we do our work on a computer, listen to music on a computer, and chat with family and friends on a computer, are we using this device a little too much? We should think about whether or not sitting by ourselves at a computer should be considered or normal thing or something that will negatively affect us as humans. We should all hope that we won't turn into a society in which people are only on the computer and only see the world through a screen.
