MSN: Are you a web addict?

http://content.health.msn.com/conten...cle/1674.50516


that's the link but here's some interesting comments.

How long have you been sitting there, staring at this screen? Are you spending more and more of your time clicking and typing, typing and clicking? Is there nothing else you'd rather do?
NO not really

A growing body of research suggests that excessive Internet use carries some of the same risks as gambling: it can lead to social isolation, depression, and failure at work or school
yup yup that's me

Some people -- particularly those who were isolated to begin with -- have forged healthy friendships by meeting kindred souls online. But using the Internet too much can hurt face-to-face relationships. And psychologists say an increasing number of people are using the Internet so obsessively that they are ruining their marriages and careers.


Many get hooked on Internet pornography.
IMO how many people get started.

You can get to very objectionable material in a few keystrokes -- even by accident -- and then it's hard to get out of the site."
(www.acura-cl.com) for me.

Dan Moore (not his real name), a self-defined compulsive personality-type and workaholic from a Midwestern state, says the Internet destroyed his life. This middle-aged professional is currently going through divorce proceedings from his wife of nine years and has been denied visitation rights with his two children due to his addiction to sex sites.

Dan, who has recently begun treatment with an Internet addiction specialist and is taking antidepressant medication, rid his home of both PC and modem. "When I finally realized how it has affected my life, I felt like smashing it, throwing it out the window. Now my compulsion is to try and understand what I've done to myself and my family."


Your life may be really boring in reality, but online you're a competitive superhero,"
will not mention names.

Say you're wine connoisseur, you find this great site and it's linked to another great site. Fine, you've learned a lot more about wine. Then all of a sudden you realize six hours have gone by. You're obsessed with getting more and more information
(95%) of our fourm members suffer from this.

Over all thought it was funny as heck. Was cracking up at my deskat work.
