Stupid article on yahoo and it has this in it....

Here's a list of common symptoms to watch out for:

1. Lying about how much time is spent online.
2. General decrease of physical activity and social life.
3. Neglecting obligations at home, work, or school to spend time online.
4. Spending too much money on computer equipment or Internet activities.
5. Feeling a constant desire to be online when they're away from the computer.
6. Going online to escape real world problems.
7. Disregarding the emotional or physical consequences of being in front of a computer all day.
8. Denial of the problem.

None really. Maybe half of 2.

2 seems to be pretty common. Maybe computers should be 5 miles away from peoples homes and the only way to get to them is jogging.

1. No
2. No
3. No
4. No
5. Yes
6. No
7. No
8. Do the above responses mean I'm in denial?

I spend a hell of a lot of time online, most of my free time in fact. But if I have to be somewhere, I don't opt to be online instead. I have a good social life and I work hard. I just spend all the rest of my spare time on the internet big grin
