Would you call yourself a computer addict?

I use the computer a lot but I think addict is a bit too strong a word. Any addiction to anything is bad and can be considered a sickness. I spend lots of time on the computer because I'm a programmer and my job requires me to be in front of the computer all day. I do take breaks of course. I think you are correct in saying that spending too much time on the computer is unhealthful. I always take a break when using the computer so that I don't develop those problems. By the way, did you mean to say psychological problems and not psychic? :D

I think you can only spend lot of hours on a computer which has access to the internet and without the internet you could only spend 2 or 3 hours.Maybe an internet addict would be a good good word. for me i would yes i'm internet addict i spend 16 hours per day on internet and i'm not sure about the consequencies there after,maybe health issues but i find myself addicted to something which i love and always wanted to do or to have And maybe communication at my finger tips is the reason why i'm addicted,for my side i don't consider it an illness

Ya, I consider myself a computer addict. To be more precise, I am a game addict. I used to do what you did during young time. I have been playing games overnight and stay awake for about 48 hours. I know it's not good but I just couldn't help it. That's why I said I am addicted. Now I no longer doing this due to health concerns. In long run, we will suffer side effects of staring at the screen for too long, obesity and etc. Other than games, I am addicted to online surfing too. After I found out mylot, the time I am online is even longer LoL.

Dear friend, I do use computer a lot but at times I never use it also. Hence I feel I am not addicted. Still if the availability of time in me permits my priority to spend time goes to browsing and other works with computer. But without computer also I had learnt to spend time. Hence I am sure that I am not addicted. At times certain facilities that internet and computer provide make me to use the technological features.

Yeah I am a computer addict completely. I think i cannot be addicted to anything else other than my computer. I usually spend time surfing internet and find out someways to earn money online. But thats all useless. There is no such method where you can do a online job. YOu can just earn few bucks to buy a shirt by the end of 2 or 3 months. That too by spending alot of time, which we can spend on other outdoor job and earn alott. What i think is that you have gone really deep into all these problems. Computer addiction can just cause vision problem. nothing else!! I dont think that asthma can be caused by computer addiction.

I'm not 'that' addicted to computers coz i need to feel alive, i mean, i have to go and walk and talk to ppl physically to feel that i'm alive. when i sit in front of the computers for long time, working, chatting, playing games i feel that i'm not 'being myself' and i'm distracted from my real life. but i've got friends who can sit in front of computers for all day, all night.....playing games. i've talked with her for so many times and it works when i drag her hands out of the room for a walk in the street, i have to pull her for shopping or just to go for a walk. that's not physically healthy for our bodies to stay sitting for so long. and it will isolate you from the real world even if you are chatting online or playing games with your mates. chatting and playing games are good, but we can always do something better like going out with friends and so on...

when you take to computers at a very young age you tend to become an addict. For a matured person computer is like an encyclopedia which can be opened when ever you need some information ior help.I open computer every dayy to check mails., write mails, put by blog in and play card games.some times I surf. In order to keep the botheration of increasing time charges away I have taken a flat unlimited scheme.

I'm not really a computer addict, i just go online when i have free time, and has nothing to do, especially when its rainy, i rather spent my free time in my, surfing the net, chatting with my friends and play online games. But i noticed that when i spent 6 to 8 hours infront of a computer, my eyes aches, and my back to, feel like i'm kinda tired and stress, some of my friends say, that computer has a radiation and its not good for the health.

Everything we do must come with a wise mind. We are in control of what we want to do, in other words we are the sole decision maker for our own self. I sit in front of a computer more that 5 hours per day but that doesn't make me an addict because every weekend (Saturday and Sunday) I make sure that it is a family gathering day and I try to minimize the involvement of myself with the computer. Usually on Saturday I only spend half the day on the computer and on Sunday I don't touch the computer unless there is something very important to do or if my family is not around and I don't know what else to do. I have to be connected to the internet not because of the entertainment purposes, even though I admit that the entertainment comes as a bonus and I too play games through the internet. I am doing small businesses through the internet and that's why I have to be connected always.

I think my job entails me to work long hours on computer.but it can't sais that i am addict., on weeknds i try to stay away from computers. its not difficult for me to switch over

i spend almost 2-10 hours my day in front of laptop, because i must use it to do my work. I dont know if it's can called as a computer addict or not. but sometimes i can be in front of my laptop almost all day, it can be happen if i playing game's, it was like you. and in that time i can be a computer addict

I would rather think of myself as an enlightened computer user. While other people might consider themselves computer addicts, I do consider myself as a user of computers who knows what he is doing. Cheers!!

yes. i use computer for about 10hours everyday. because my job need computer. without computer, i can't live, i think

I usually sot 2-3 hrs in front of computer daily..... i play games, surf internet and chat with my friends..... if this is called addiction then yean i am addicted to computer.....

You are not wrong. What you are saying makes a lot of sense. For me, I can call myself a computer addict. But then, on the other hand, I cannot get things done without using a computer, things that my job requires me to do. I have to do a lot of research work online for the business activities I have to take care of in my Company. That's a lot of work and needs many hours a day on the computer.

I consider my self a computer addict and all of the above mentioned habits. I love my computer it is my friend and it keeps me from getting bored, there is always something to do on the computer. I have to start doing some exercise in the future, because I will be out of job soon and I know it will not be good to just sit here on this computer day and night.

I would say that yes I am addicted to the computer. I am addicted to working and email and certain forums. Especially addicted to MyLot! I am overweight but that is not caused by the computer. The computer does not help it but the computer did not cause it. I do tear myself away from it after work and get on with family things after everyone gets home. I do tear myself away during the day so that I can cook, clean and look after the animals. Addicted but would survive without it.

I consider myself a computer addict! I love surfing the web! I love playing games! I love checking my email! And, of course, I LOVE myLot! :) It can definitely cause problems, though. It is probably good to step away for a while. (:

I am addicted to my computer! I am not overweight though, and although i have mild asthma, this is nothing to do with computing. Asthma is an often hereditary condition, and a bit of exercise everyday is good. I go swimming every Monday, this hopefully keeps me in top condition. Happy myLotting!

I believe computers as a way for people (like me) to escape from their real world. In my case, I dislike getting physical or socializing in person, I feel less confident. But on the computer, on the internet, I feel more freedom, I feel more happy, better to express my feelings and I find my fun and happiness here. Would I call myself a computer addict? yes, it is pretty hard for me to get through a day without using the computer. But, I've done it a couple of times when I went out traveling. And yes, do get a good chair if you plan to be sit for long hours!
