Internet addiction

is it possible to actually be addicted to the net? Like drug and alcohol abuse? What are the signs? Do you panic or feel a little crazy when you have no net at home or just the thought of not being able to get online make you anxious? What are the signs? Does your net useage get in the way of living or the important things you have to do?

Sure you can be addicted to internet.. here in germany are information centers and self-help groups about that. Signs are loss of friends, loss of reality, excessive use of chat and boards i.e. using the net without special reason

Yes you can.
Remember this from a while back?


A WEST NYACK, N.Y. MAN was found dead at his computer apparently the victim of trying to keep up with too many professional forums. Childress H. Wanamaker, 54, an account executive at a New York-based new media company, died of starvation according to the West Nyack coroner's office. Wanamaker's emaciated body was found by Loraine, his wife of 26 years, who told MediaPost she had been bringing her husband meals on plastic trays for weeks, but that he never took the time to eat them.

"He was glued to his computer 24/7," she said tearfully. "He was so afraid he was going to miss an opportunity to contribute a comment or start a discussion, that he just stopped eating." She added that Wanamaker's last words were "OK Picard, stick that in your pipe and smoke it..."

skip to end..
In what must be a record, Wanamaker was linked into to over 15,250 other community members, many of whom he exchanged notes with daily. He also contributed to 375 blogs and was expected to start an online column about the impact of interactive communications on health, when he died.

favorite IRC channel.

call 200 hours per month "unlimited."
48. You turn on your computer and turn off your wife.
49. Your wife says communication is important in a marriage?so you buy
another computer and install a second phone line so the two of you can

first instinct is to search for the "back" button.

It's actually a real addiction. As far as I know you can even get psychological treatment against it.
