I AM VERY MUCH ADDICTED TO NET and my freinds used to call me net-eria(means a net being) i couldn't concentrate on my studies at that time but i worked over it to overcome that addiction now i only spend 10 hours a week on the net only.
i think it is not addiction anymore relative to 50+ hours a week which i earlier used to spend on the net and that too on cheap sites.
i think maturity comes only after some experience.

yeah the internet can be addictive. I guess you could say I am addicted to the net. What makes it worse is I work with computers and interent so its so easy to get distracted. Like right now I'm surpose to be doing some programming yet I'm trying to get some points lol. I do spend alot of hours each day just broswing though.

Do your school work.

There will be time enough for Browsing when you are old, like me, with no life...

Seriously, get an education before you get to the point where you no longer have the options available to pursue the career of your choice. I got mine a long time ago... before Al Gore invented the Internet, but, of course, I had other distractions...

I am addicted to my pc, if Im not online I am doing something on it, studying on it, watching movies on it, playing games on it... its the best invention in the world!!

Only problem is though, I spend all my time, building sites, reading reviews, searching for jobs, watching movies.. I should really get a life!!
But the people who slag us off are the ones who don't use the internet for decent resources or to use it's full potential.

You should also include me in the addiction list. I am a bigtime Internet Addict and love to explore things online. MOst of my time is spent reading things happening around the world be Happenings, Hot news, Technology, Politics, etc etc .

Of course the next question will be like what do i use to do to keep me updated....

1. Google Reader - I use it extensively
2. Google News - My next resource....

If you really want to know how addicted i am in internet you should take a look at one of the post in my blog where i have recorded my spendings online.

Well, i guess i will have to shut down my system and get to the real world. I wish i can ignore all my mails, forum activities, my other interests online, blogs etc.

I think I became addicted to the internet when we had our DSL connected at home. I was downloading a lot of stuff that I couldn't download when we still had dial-up. It also came to a point where I do a lot of chatting over the internet that I rarely go out of the house and play with my neighbor friends. While it helped me ease my cravings for some daily surfing, it also helped me a lot in my assignments in school.

As time passed by, I have toned down my usage of the internet. I only use it to check my mails, maybe update my website if I have time, and of course go to trap to gather credits. I'm now working, so I really don't have a lot of time in my hands for other non-work related stuff. We have internet access at work, but I rarely use it for personal stuff.

I used to be very addicted to the internet also, but who knows, maybe it was just that the internet was so slow back then (56k connection) that it took a while to navigate and load pages. I mainly used it for playing online, it was very addictive, with games such as quake and starcraft. I changed all that for music recording and production, thats were all my time goes nowadays.

i get free internet access in my hostel room. so, what i do is, come back from college and stright away sit before the computer.

i will get up only for dinner and to go to bed(very late in the night).

but, this usuall proceedure (or routine) is not a adiction to me(i think so). because if there is a ny work to be completed the next day, then i have the strenght and courage to not sit before the computer and waste my time(as others say).

i can control myself if needed.

i sit before the computer and the internet only because i get free internet access and also because i have no other job to do during that time.

you know what i do in the internet,
i check my mail once in every 5 mins,
check out my orkut profile once in 30 mins,
serch for some extra information which i can gather regarding the topic which was lectured that day. i try to learn more about that topic( but obly if it interests me). so, pretty well am not wasting my time on the internet).

it is for educational purpose(you have to agree to that) only.

if anyone of you are addicted ten, please start reading Books. it will help you a lot to divert your attention from the internet for a while.

a long term likeness for something less (like reading books) will surely reduce internet addiction.

good luck!

The internet is addicting, and the possibilities are endless on the 'tinternet'
There will always be something you won't have ever done, sitting on the internet, and with it growing at a rapid speed more and more people are spending their life's on the Net.
As much as concerning it is, it's also bad for your health. It's recommended you take a break every once in a while - But I don't follow that advice, as I've already mentioned in my last post... I'm addicted.

I like to think that I'm not, but I totally am. Hahahahaha My problem is that I go online and I do absolutely nothing. I'm not even kidding you. I just read things until I realize it's about 2-3 in the morning, sometimes later, and I didn't do anything productive at all. But whatever!

i constantly sit online for hours the whole day online, usually on this site. I stay up until 4 am on the internet, and unless i have something to do, i stay online. And actually i can stop thats not a problem, but only if i have something to do, i cant limit my time on the internet. It passes by so fast and an hour passes by and then two yet i pay no attention to the time and sit online as much as i want to, until i dont want to.
and that affects my sleeping because i go to sleep at like 3 am, if not later and then wake up at like 1 pm. and thats not healthy, before i used to wake up at 9am, and now i cant. how can i limit my time on the internet?

I'm the same. It seemed good at the time but now the true effects of it are coming out. I spend so much time on here and so do my friends, when we should be outside together having fun. Computers have made a very isolated world...ironic i know, but i dont think society has ever been so disconnected from those around us...

just find something else to do. make up a list like i do (though i make lists to remind me more than to prevent going online)

and you can't wish away technology. we would never even be able to talk if it weren't for the internet.

The internet addiction is a serious disorder .
Internet addiction disorder (IAD) is a hypothetical disorder originally made as a satirical hoax[1] by Ivan Goldberg, M.D., in 1995. He took pathological gambling as diagnosed by the DSM-IV as his model for the spoofed description.

Im also addicted to internet, after playing ragnarok I will spend my time on the net.. surfing for something, looking for something.. and this I found trap17 on the net.. and most of the stuffs I need are right now on the net..
I know spending too much time on the net makes me stressy, and I do get a rest if I had spend too much time but sometimes I also get bored and I do take a rest earlier....
