Stop! Web Time!
EDIT: The Web is _anything in a browser_. If it's not in a browser then it's not the web. If you use a chat client that's browser-based, then that counts. If you use one that's a program, then it doesn't.
The reason I'm curious is Google's pushing of the Chrome laptops - which are designed to be web only. I know that a lot of my time is spent on the web nowadays, but I'm curious as to what percentage most people spend on it.
(Non-web usages of the computer are either playing non-web games (Dragon Age and Super Meat Boy this week) and watching videos - although that's mostly on Julie's PC, as it's in the bedroom.)
The second question is because there was a big battle over MS Office versus OpenOffice, and I realised that I don't really use Office at home since I stopped sending letters. I still have it (the joy of a brother who works for Microsoft), but I can't see me using it.
The percentage of time that I am at my personal computer that is spent on the web is...

The true origin of Facebook
This just in from The Ministry Of Truth
Also, the reviews on this are awesome
Apparently not a relic of an earlier age
I just looked up someone's address in the phone book.
Admittedly it's the internet version of the phone book.
But still, I don't think I've done that in about five years.
