As an information junkie, the web has just taken the place of what I did before there was an internet, which was read tons of magazines and newspapers. It was insanely expensive. I still read a lot of magazines and newspapers – only online mostly. I am always reading a book at any given time as well. So my surfing is primarily reading news and interesting magazine articles, posting to blogs such as this, and occasionally taking in some comedy sites or music. Who, if they are honest, spend any appreciable time at home interacting one on one with their housemates? Most people don’t even sit down to dinner and most people watch hours upon hours of television or have it on as background noise. At least the internet is interactive! Of course I don’t spend every waking moment surfing. I’m not addicted, but it is a fun hobby of mine. Something I find more compelling inside on a lousy day when I’m all alone than watching a stale TV show. I love surfing the web.
