Are you addicted to the internet?
There are some academics (and spouses) taking Internet Addiction as a serious topic. Do you?
Richard Davis, in an article titled "Is Internet Addiction Real?" lists the following symptoms: 1. Neglecting friends, family, and job or personal responsibilities, 2. Withdrawal when away from the Internet 3. Irritability when attempting to stop using the Internet 4. Staying online more than originally intended 5. Lying or concealing how much time one spends online 6. Drastic lifestyle changes in order to spend more time online 7. General decrease in physical activity 8. Disregard for one's health as a result of internet activity 9. Sleep deprivation or a change in sleep patterns in order to spend time on the net 10. Thinking about the Internet while offline 11. Anticipating future time online 12. Spending large of amounts of money on Internet time and other such expenses 13. Isolating oneself from friends, in favor of friends online 14. A sense of guilt about one's online use This week's "Ask Colin" addressed this topic but you'll have to find it because the URL is blocked here for some reason.

I am on the internet alot but I dont believe its an addiction. If you make good money doing anything you are going to keep on doing it right? whether it is being on the internet or running a business.
so long as you dont revolve your whole life around it, its all schweet! |

Everything but this one:
5. Lying or concealing how much time one spends online I dont think you can even remotely consider yourself a serious adult webmaster if you do not exhibit at LEAST 12 of those "symptoms". Now, if you dont make any money and exhibit all of those, you are a loser. |
