If you read more carefully, you would have noticed that I wasn't referring to the internet when I said that. I was referring to

    the time I spend consuming internet- and video-game-based entertainment.
I'm well aware that there are innumerable productive uses for the internet and that it is an invaluable and inexhaustible resource for improvement of myself and society. I'm complaining about the time I waste on the parts of the internet that aren't worth my time.

Well, if "internet-entertainment" doesn't make you happy, why do you still do it? Habit?

Why does anyone ever regret their time management? People are lazy. They do easy things.

I don't regret my time "on the internet." I regret my time wasted "on the internet." If you can learn to separate those out, you're golden.

I agree!
