Are you addicted to teh Internets?

[macDonalds]

Do you find yourself saying or doing any of the following?

"Ok, just one more stumble".

"Let me refresh my email inbox one more time."

"Let me see if anyone has responded to me in Macrumors"

If you do any or all of these activities daily -- you are addicted. Welcome to the club

I can quit any time I want.

The internet is my anti-drug!

I managed to survive when connectivity went down this morning. I just went on and did my tasks for the day.

Yea, but that was only a day. Do you think you could go a week or more?

Imagine traveling outside the comforts of your native country.

That's kinda different, when you travel your leaving personal/work behind. You are going to an area you never been, so your going to explore. I know when I travel, I am rarely around my computer/blackberry.

I'm slowly beating my addiction. I'm currently taking patches to ease me off Adium.

 

[Abstract]

Every time I'm away from internet access, I stop using it.

 

[remmy]

Think I spend too much time on the internet, got 4 websites that I visit regularly including this one and the bbc.

But when I go on holiday or away I don't miss it.

I'm addicted to being up to date with everything, it's why I only watch BBC News 24 when at the dinner table. But I'm a bit odd like that.

Oh and addicted to MR. Just so easy to get lost here.

 

[iSaint]

Yes. But I often wonder why I don't seek new things out.

 

[northy124]

I would say yes but lately I have been doing other stuff like exercise (It kills) & just going out to random places each day.

 

[Gray-Wolf]

I have gotten habitual in surfing, but addicted? No. There are days when I have no interest in logging in.

 

[scotty96LSC]

I find myself taking the internet for granted. But, when the cable goes out and there is no internet, that is when I realize I do need it. I have to fill that internet time with something else and that can be tough to do.

 

[Melrose]

I try to be as goal-oriented online as I can be. I have a select few sites I visit every day, some weekly, and then there's some that I forget about checking form one month to the next and it's like rediscovering it every time.

I probably waste more time than I'd like to admit online, but in general, I can let it go and walk away at any time unless I'm in the midst of a project.

I can quit any time I want.

That's what they all say!
