Are you crazy about your computer? Do you find yourself spending more time surfing the Net than catching up with the soaps?

According to a survey by computer giant Microsoft, one in four UK households now has a PC - and we spend more time online than we do eating meals.

Microsoft's survey of 1,500 people found an increasing love-affair with computers.

"Britain is meant to be a nation of couch potatoes obsessed with football," says Microsoft's Stephanie Kinkade. "These results have proved otherwise."

Even old people are falling for technology, with the over 60s coming out of the survey as the biggest users.

But are we going too far?

Do you think Microsoft's findings are right, or is it a marketing ploy? Are you spending more and more time with your computer?

Surely it would be healthier to be outside in the fresh air playing sport than spending all our time glued to computer screens?

We want to hear about your experiences. Have computers changed your homelife? Do you talk about technology as much as you do football and sex?

What do you think?

Do we love our computers too much?
