Too Much Time On-Line?

Recently Gordon College did a study of Christian students regarding the amount of time they spent on social networking sites. They found that 54% confessed to "neglecting some important areas of their lives" due to spending too much time on a social networking site. 13% believe they are addicted to some form of electronic activity. I had to chuckle when I read this because of the reaction of my daughter when we came home from graduating college recently. My wife and I were both sitting in our family room with the TV on, but we were both on our individual lap top computers on Facebook. She, like many college age people, are appalled that old people like my wife and I are on FB. But she was also amazed at how these scene looked with both parents glued to their computers, sitting about a foot away from each other.
Are we eADDICTS? I don't think so, but we probably spend a little too much time on FB. It is healthy, however, to step back and consider just how much time you are spending on your computer, and on social networking sites. Let me encourage you to keep a log of how much time you are spending on the computer verses other activities in your day. You might be surprised at how much time you do spend on it.
