I spend about 5 hours daily working on my computer, so I don't think that I'm an addict. I'm not playing games or doing something useless, I'm using comp just for work.
I m too an Internet Addict....can't live without it a single day.....Just work on it to earn some cash and knowledge.....
it's hard to define addiction when you talk about something that you must use in day to day activities and can't work without it. I've read somewhere that you are addicted if you are using it 8 hours per day. Well, internet is kinda my job and most of the planet works 8h/day so if it's addiction, we could say that every working man is an addict. construction addict, waitress addict, taxi driver addict it's just silly enjoy your addiction
On this question i guess its my right lol i mean i am totally addicted to the internet.. I cant stay without it. I am online on the internet for more than 8 hours or even 15 hours on the internet. When i wake up the first thing i do is switch on my laptop and check mails and other stuff. NB: Also my BlackBerry has emails enabled therefore i get all emails and stuff there, so that is also another form of internet hehe
If i was very successful in internet marketing then you wouldn't be seeing me again lol, i wouldn't want to see another computer again!
I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my newspaper like I used to, before the Internet. I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing. I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Internet-deprived. I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Internet.
It's becoming a 'need' more than a 'want'. It's not that we're addicted, but we need it for so many things these days. No libraries in this world can compare to the abundance of information we could find online. We could shop online instead of going to the malls, pay bills and do online banking. We watch movies, listen to music, work online and what not. Sooner or later no one would hang out on the streets anymore.
I am getting addicted........ When i left my day job and engaged in Internet marketing , freelancing.... It is been more than a week, went out of my home. I am just sitting and staring on PC and i am not wasting time by playing games or other chat services, I am working on every second or learning some new things which will help me in increasing my earning. And Dp made me busy, that i couldn't even log in here and discuss with the community . And after working entire night... i feel sleepy now but i thought to spend some time in here. When there is no power(here due to summer, weekly once 9 hrs power shutdown) at that time i really miss something hard in my life and to manage those time, i will work @ night and sleep at day when the power fails. And these things make me to feel that i am getting addicted to internet.
I've been without internet for 72 hours, and how do I feel? Bored. I didn't do anything special, I was doing my usual stuff and the time that I would spend on my PC I used to watch TV or relax. I'm guessing that I'm not addicted than
I used to be addicted to the internet but when it nearly split me and my partner up i've sort have cooled down a bit now.
