Internet Junky

Anyone feel as though they are an internet junky? Do you get bored and surf the net when you have nothing else to do? Do you eat at your computer? Stay up later than you should messing around on the internet? I find that I fall into all three of these categories but I must admit, most of the time I'm soaking up newly learned information. I don't always use my computer for social networking and gaming. I use my computer to keep in touch with friends and family as well as review products in order to inform others about said product. I like to look up various interesting facts about politics, religion, nature, history, people and more. Do you do this as well? As much as the internet can suck a person in and has been said that it is more harm then help, if you take the time to realize that the internet is a great place to learn, the more you will find that it is a significant help to those who are willing to use it as such. So be an internet junky if you will....But at least this addiction can be good for you. :-)

Yes indeed I am an internet junky and surf the net and work here on Mylot allday and I also eat at my desk. I love the way I can find information on almost anything I want and so quickly too. This is one addiction I am not ashamed of at all. I find so much that is helpful health wise and scientific wise too.

i quite agree with you that the internet is a great place to learn new things,i sometimes stay up late into the night searching and learning ,as good as the internet is ,it can be used negatively too,but i think its usefulness is dependent on what you decide to use it for

I would much rather be on here than I would to watch tv and so Yes, I am an internet junkie and I don't care who knows it. My husband thinks that I spend too much time here. However, I make money here and that is nice to stretch the budget.

I am, absolutely!! I do the same things you do. Makes me wonder what I ever did with my time before the internet?!?

i totally agree. id much rather be online and chit chat to someone, research something, learn something, etc than to sit idle and stare at a tv.
