Internet Addictive, Study Says – (via TechWeb)

October 18, 2006

Are you addicted to the ‘Net? You may be and not even know it. Then again, it could just be another damn farce that some research-type used to bilk the government into funding some research (and themselves) for a year or two.

At any rate, I obviously use the ‘Net quite a bit. Considering that I’ve moved to using the web for all my information technology service needs, you could argue that I’m “hooked”. However, I beg to differ - big shock, huh? I use the ‘Net for simplifying my life. I use the ‘Net for information. I use the ‘Net to streamline.

While I’m using a computing device most of the day, I only use the ‘Net for a little bit a day. Most of my computer-related time is spent at work figuring out some ridiculous problem, or supporting someone else’s problem (fun - not).

What do you think? Are you addicted?
