I sometimes have long "pauses" in my workload, mostly I spend them doing househusband jobs, or surfing the net.
There are thousands of hours of DVDs staring at me from the shelf, as well as virtual worlds like Second Life and others. I am two, or maybe three Myst games behind (if you count Uru as one).
Unlike dabbling around the internet, something you can break away from easily to, for example, do a load of laundry, these things take long chunks of consecutive time, and I worry I wouldn't get off my chair again.
I can easily see someone diving into a virtual world and not bothering to surface again. This will become more of an issue in the future as the interfaces improve. Last time I looked at something like Second Life, it was very primitive. I suspect this will change, if it hasn't already.
