DO you think people are becoming internet addict?

ya..nowadays internet has become one important thing as we get all information just by sitting at one place.. our technology has improved a lot such that we can't live without laptop,messenger,ect... for these changes we can't blame the youngsters also by saying its an addiction.. instead we can say its necessary ..

my answer is YES its becomh nessity too, but people are getting addicted of it toooo

Almost always, my computer and internet are on 24/7. The first thing I do upon waking up is check my mail and same goes before I hit the bed at nights. Now, is that reason enough to qualify myself as an addict? :-) Well, I definitely say not! I believe it all depends as to what our purpose is in going and staying online. There are so many benefits we can get from the internet if we only know how to make good use of it. Now, say one gets online only for the sole reason of chatting, day in and day out, even to the extent of skipping meals and bath just to chat -- i think, for me, that is a serious symptom of addiction.

I spend more than 10 hours on the net.So I guess I'm an addict!

Its an addiction for some i think. There is a parenting website i know one person is always on there morning noon and night,talking but also debating and arguing, I think its a shame when it becomes your whole social life.
