Internet Addiction: Ruining Lives?

[Joeiss]

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.

Oh, I forgot about SOCOM online.. lol.. I was definitely addicted to that. I would play for like... at least 3 hours a night... yep yep.

SOCOMII is gonna own me as well.

I could quit if I wanted to... But I don't want to!


If the internet is considered an addiction when you use it socially, then so should the visitation of friends, as well as anything else you can do to gain pleasure... oooh yes, sweet sweet pleasure.


Err, anywho. We'd do anything we like over and over so long as we had the chance and also so long as it had no adverse effects (i.e. someone died every single time we did it. ¦¬Þ)

I'm not addicted, I just know what I like.
