They are so addicted that they can't help themselves and respond anyway. You see it all the time. It's quite obvious. I'm not sure why you wasted our time on this. This is such a stupid question Jack. Brian Cincinnati One sign that someone is addicted to the internet is when they respond to your question with "This is such a stupid question Jack".

I started working with computers in 1960 and grew up with them through punch card input and printer output, slow terminal access, dial-up modems, DSL, and now an iPhone with wifi access. It is my lifestyle, not an addiction. On the other hand, responding to questions like this using the internet ... Oh Wait!! I'm an addict! :-( I'm not addicted to the internet.

I know that if my wife were unable to participate in nightly forums or ask questions of perfect strangers she would be very unhappy and therfore so would I. Obviously I am addicted to, otherwise I would not have sent a comment to this blog. I think more of us our addicted to some form of the internet than we would like to admit.

Spending 18-20 hours or more straight on the computer browsing the internet. Making excuses you need to do work on the internet, over spending quality time with family, birthdays, family union, etc. When you read, reread, and reread your own mail over and over again? When you check every minute to see if someone responded to your posting - even those posted last year! When your begin to use the internet to talk to your wife - who is in the next room! Being more promiscuous -by download files fully aware that they may be dangerous. Thinking that its ok for others to spy on your privacy - thinking its the norm. Thinking that the government and large corporations can use your computer to share with others. When you begin to lump your cable, phone and intenet all together!
