Is It Taking Over....

Do you ever feel you spend too much time on the www, and not enough time in the real world. I have grown to enjoy the www, and all that is has to offer, the inspiration it offers, the lovely people I have *met* online, but this article that many of you may have read really got me thinking....

I sometimes think I shouldnt be actually sitting on my derriere whilst surfing/tweeting etc, I should actually get off my derriere and get busy organising my life into better order. Yes, I do do alot of interaction on the www regarding the selling of my handmade pretties, I have a busy Facebook business page, where I post lots of  photographs like this of the things I make and sell online....


But do I really need all the inbetweeny stuff. Sometimes I only come to check an email or two and then get easily distracted and find myself on various social networking sites talking about my fascination with chocolate/shoes/handbags/ blah blah....

Is it all too much. Is the internet, especially the social networking side of it taking over our lives. I keep seeing these words in front of my eyes when I begin to tap away....
" Stop writing about your life and start living it"
Many of us have internet on the go, so we really can socially interact 24/7. I guess it is a balance, I don't want my children staring into the back of my head whilst I am busy 'networking' though I do feel this is my time, my playtime as it were.

Are you happy with the amount of time you spend online....have you got the balance just right?
