Probably a couple of hours actively on line. Usually first thing in the morning then when I have a tea or coffee during the day. I don't have a good signal in most of the garden so I catch up in small chunks during the day. Evenings I chat with family and friends on various social media apps.
Due to a lack of physical health/endurance I'm mostly home, and sat a lot - so online more often than not.
I'd rather be playing an online game where there is more chance to chat to someone rather than watching mind rotting TV.
I'm also in a few Discord groups so can chat there if I want.

Good points! I've known a few people who've said how useful they find Discord. I think there's still a bit of snobbery about being on-line. It reminds me of when I was a kid: we were allowed to watch 'Blue Peter' because it was on the BBC - but not 'Magpie', because that was on the "vulgar" commercial station 🙄.

About an hour first thing to check my bank and do online puzzles, then about 30 minutes later in the day for more puzzles. But if I'm working on my genealogy, it could be several hours.
