Internet Addiction: Ruining Lives?

Joeiss · 08-10-2003, 10:54 AM

I get online almost everyday. I like it a lot! I think I am somewhat addicted to it... But not too much.

I go online whenever I am bored. It never conflicts with my social life or anything.

Oh no! Oh no! I am addicted! Oh dear lord, I am going to run away and never come back!

Nice try, though.

I doubt we are "addicted" to the net but most of us here use it as a resource. A tool to communicate to others around the world. A tool to download an assortment of stuff one can only imagine 20 years ago.

Let the average joe's and plain jane's say that we are addicted. Majority of them are scared as hell of the internet and don't even use a % of what its capable of doing.

I wouldn't be surprised if some here were addicted, or damn close.

Well, I can admit that I'm pretty addicted to the internet. In the summer, I'm online almost all day, unless there's somewhere else I have to be. And usually if I'm not online, I'm playing video games in my room.

For me, it really isn't such a big problem (I don't go as far as forgetting about homework or anything like that, so I'm not overly addicted or anything, but still addicted)... it's the lifestyle I chose, and I like it.

I pretty much go online whenever I'm home. Though when I was in Nashville for a month with a computer, I only went online once...I was desperate to go back on once I got home, but hey, I can deal without it for awhile.
