    Internet addiction seems to be an increasing problem nowadays. I guess there are many Net addicts on this forum as well. Since it can has pretty serious consequences, would it make sense to begin having warning messages on places like Internet forums and chats, simular to the warning messages on cigarette boxes? Would that make any sense? Do you think it's just a question of time until such warning message begin to appear? Or don't you consider Net addiction to be a problem at all?

    Lol @ Cky47.

    It's too easy to become addicted to the net. I go through phases of being on here LOOOOOOOOOADS, and other times not at all. I really love the internet though. A little too much, I guess. I could never NOT go on my computer at least once a day!

    I can't really see there being warnings on forums and chat boards like there are on packets of fags though. But then again saying that...It is becoming a widely recognised problem. So who knows, eh. This time next year -

    Warning: Could kill...your social life.

    Because some of you guys are online SO much, do you not feel like you're missing out on living a fun normal internet-less life though?

    Sometimes I wish I wasn't on here so much, if you let it - it can easily take over your offline life.

    Had enough of a normal internet-less life as a teen. I now have a bad memory due to running in front of a car while chasing someone then to much dope. I'll stick to the internet for now, it's less damage :p

    Well something like this: Excessive usage of Internet forums and chats can lead to social isolation, lack os sense for reality, bla bla whatever, please try to limit your Internet usage to a reasonable degree.

    Warning messages wouldn't matter , would you limit your dp time if they have such messages?

    It might not stop everyone but at least it might make you think about your usage.
