Posting here at EoFF for the last two hours has gotten me thinking. Am I using the Internet too much? Am I addicted to posting at forums and reading ridiculous articles about things that don't even matter?

No, of course I'm not. I just don't have anything else better to do this evening.

So, are you addicted to the Internet? Do you use it far too much?

I DO use the Internet far too much. Since I've become addicted to EoFF, oh, about 5 months ago, I'm on it far too much. Then again, the only thing that it's taking away from is my sitting and lying around time.

Yes I use the internet too much. I'm at work right now. I got back from lunch an hour ago, and I haven't done any work yet. :D

Yeah, I'm definitely addicted to the Internet. It's not really a problem this time of year, though, since there's no school or anything. But if I actually manage to find a job, it might be.

Well the internet is the only place where I can get <s>porn</s> RO gametime so, yeah.

The internet has become a major staple in my life, it's where I met some of my best friends.

I'm on it more than my own good would demand, but if I wasn't, I'd have no on-line time whatsoever. So...Yeah, I guess I do spend to much time in front of the computer.

My dad put some stupid time managing program on the computer, so I can only go online for two hours. But, I do spend a lot of time online, when I can.

If you *want* to do something else, then do it. Not everything in life has to be ether going out, getting girls, sleeping with girls, partying, or whatever you call 'having a life'.

I'm cutting back. I'm finding how people act and how things work on the Internet to be quite ridiculous. Gotta step back every once in a while and do something else.

I sure am, but if it went away I'd find something else to get addicted to.

I think I probably am. But it's not my only source of social interaction. If the internet disappeared, I'd probably live. I'd be hella bored, but I'd live. *nods*

Maybe you are addicted, maybe your not. If your reading this, I reffer you to a site.

Yeah. :p

David: Can you define internet addiction for us?

Dr. Young: Sure, it's the same criteria defined for substance abuse. You look for people that lie and become preoccupied with the internet and who jeopardize their career and other aspects of their life, despite the consequences


So, using the Internet is just like sniffing glue.

Great. At least I know where I stand.

I'm probably addicted...I go on most nights before I go to bed. Butthe time I'm not on the internet I'm just addicted to FF and whatever else consumes my life :)

I was addicted to the internet at some point. Then I realised... It's hard to be addicted to the internet, and stoped.

I wouldn't say I'm addicted. If I have a choice between sitting on my ass and going out, I'd probably go out. It's just that that choice doesn't come around sometimes. =D

Currently, yes. But in a while, I'll eventually get burned out again and get fed up with everything(again) and then leave the internet life completely for a while(again).

Somewhat. If I really stopped liking the internet and everything about it, I'd stop using it. I'm not addicted, but I do overuse it, because I enjoy it.

No, I'm not addicted, but I do use it an insane amount of my days...but thats just because I have no job, school, ect. right now, and my only friend has left for good so until I get out of this hell and back to Cali its gonna stay this way.

Its getting quite boring now though...I mean with 56K its tough to find anything to do online for me anymore (I no longer have the patience to sit and download 150MB-200MB anime episodes to watch anymore).
