| Twix | My parents try to say i am addicted to the computer but there is no way i am bad as these people i just use the computer for somthing to do when i am bored | July 4, 2005, 7:33 AM |
| CrAz3D | I dont know about myself... I mean it's 141 am & I'm online...of course I'm sorta hoping someone will get on, but i doubt she will this morning :( oh well, sleep now | July 4, 2005, 7:41 AM |
| Archonist | I use a computer more then I should, but they're something to do, they're intresting, and hopefully someday they'll get me money. :P | July 4, 2005, 1:00 PM |
| QwertyMonster | Im on my pc 24/7 :) Im at school right now and im even on a pc :-\ It isn't really being addicted, it's just there isn't really much to do in life, and computers are fun. The computer im on now, REALLY sucks. :P | July 4, 2005, 1:46 PM |
| iago | That's like saying it's addictive to have friends because once people do, they don't want to stop. | July 4, 2005, 1:52 PM |
| nslay | My take on this whole "net addiction" is that, while it is not clinical disorder, it is usually associated with disorders. You probably don't have "net addiction" if you just use the internet a lot. However, you might have problems if you refuse to go out with your friends because of it, or fantasize about being on the internet. You might even have problems if it effects your life (ie. causing you to miss work, sleep disorders or rage). When they say "net addiction" this is what they are really referring to. If you just use it too much then you're probably fine. If you're concerned about using it too much then create a small program for yourself to slowly decrease your time online. Just keep in mind, the computer is a tool, not a hobby (this doesn't rule out programming or video games, etc... as hobbies). | July 4, 2005, 3:39 PM |
| Networks | We're really putting out biased opinions, I mean we're posting in a forum called: 'General Computing & Misc.' about some net addiction. If you spend 10 hours a day on the computer nearly everyday (including the summer) then you're addicted IMO. Get out of the house. | July 4, 2005, 8:55 PM |
| CrAz3D | ...wait, whats your point? | July 4, 2005, 9:53 PM |
| KkBlazekK | I am on the computer as long as I am not eating/sleeping or not at home. | July 4, 2005, 9:54 PM |
| CrAz3D | Generally the same for me... Except when I'm doing chores or watching TV (which is only when something good is on) | July 4, 2005, 10:50 PM |
