I am totally addicted to the internet. I can't shake it off even when I have to, when I have tonnes of other stuff to do.

I have a huge dose of online work scheduled in August, and of course there's always an infinity of things to do out here, but I should shake off the internet and enjoy the rising tides of google listings as they arrive (there's nothing wrong with my pages so I assume I'll get them all absorbed into google, as usual, in the fullness of time).

I would eat less, get more exercise, be more sociable, admittedly spend more, and also give my eyes a break from screens.

It's a grey day in london, with lightning sneaking about the place. A brief gap of sun did pop up for an hour or so, and it's by no means a miserable day (or maybe that's just my perspective), but it's grey and dull and dubious! If I put away mad fears of lightning I may as well go out and about. A bit of drizzle never killed anyone.

When I am at home I have to use the internet all the time. It just takes precedence. So they only way to get unaddicted is to get away from here. Sadly there is still so much work to do, so it hardly seems worth getting unaddicted. So much more dangerous exposure to the internet even if I manage to break away for a few days.

I like the idea of a dark road, for I know that the darkness of the unknown is like a magnet luring the innocent into a world of corruption.

I know what you mean. I spend all day online at work and, barring exercise and occassionally seeing friends, I'm on at home too...

I blame the internet for being so bloody interesting!

Technology is very helpful and making our lives easy but we are getting too much depended on it. Technology is affecting our health. People are becoming more lazy day by day.

you know I nearly had a heart-attack this evening when my ADSL dropped for 20 minutes... how sad is that??

I guess I love Internet as much as you do, but still I try to remember that I have other interesting things in my life: my family, my friends...

I spend way too much time on the internet, might have to consider getting addicted to something else to break the internet addiction

Yup we know that technology really helps a lot now a days ... me too I spend too much time online ... at work and at home. I work using internet and I relax using the internet. I really get frustrated when my connection is down called up the ISP hotline and wanted to know what's holding up my internet connection. cause I can't stand it when I don't have an internet connection. That's how I'm addicted in using internet right now.
