I have to admit that I am addicted to the Internet. I spend most of my day surfing on the net,searching, shopping, watching movies, reading novels,listening to music, social networking,etc. Even if I have nothing to do on the net, or I have some other important things to do, I'm unwilling to turn off my pc. Do you have the same experience with me? Are you addicted to the Internet?

I am too addicted to the internet and I lost a lot of time with the internet. I nearly forget my famil and friends. it is a very good technology, but we have to manage it properly so we can too do other important things in life.

I am semi addicted to the Internet. I use to be really addicted over the summer but with school nowadays I'm usually busy. I still use th Internet slot over the weekend to play games or go on other sites. In addition after I'm do r using the computer I would use my iPod so you can say I'm addicted. I know it's not good but the Internet is a very powerful thing.

Yes, I really am addicted to the internet. It's something that I just can help but want to use and such. I try not to be so addicted to the internet, but sometimes I just can't help it. It's a very useful tool, which probably doesn't help my case much. But that's the way that it goes.

Being addicted to the internet is as easy as smiling when you are happy. Not everyone understands this addiction but those of us who do don't really understand those that aren't addicted to it. The internet for me is a hobby. For many the Internet is a tempting escape from reality, a virtual world of wonder waiting to be explored. The Internet has enabled us to expand our communication horizons, eased some of the difficulties handicaps can bring, educated and enlightened us well as entertained us since its conception. There are plateaus and pitfalls, there are opportunities and opportunists. We have to take the good with the bad and the bad with the worse.

I would not say that I am addicted to the internet, but internet has become a necessity for me. Internet is the information highway these days, carrying enormous volumes of information on various things. My full time job requires me to do market research, and internet is the means for that. And, besides that, of course, I also spend a lot of time on the internet, myLotting and keeping in touch with friends by emails.

not really.. i just need a couple of hours being online in a day and am good. i love surfing myself. usually i read stuff about current events, watch latest movies that others uploaded, i dont do social networking -- waste of time, i download music, ebooks and whatever..
during my restday though, if i have connection then i'm good. no need to go out to relax or something.. just a couple of food, drinks and perfect connection. am super good.

As far as I am concerned, I think I am an Internet addicteor,who usually surf the Internet for so long time and enjoy the Internet life life so much.When I am not surfing the Internet, I will try my best to find a place where can allow me to surf the Internet there and do some tasks that I will enjoy so much.For me, I usually think that Internet is my best one that I love.

You know, I am in fact utterly and completely shamelessly addicted to the Internet. However, I doubt I am alone. And let's face it, if the Internet is the least of someone's addictions, then that puts them far and beyond many people in this world. There are far worse things to be addicted with them the Internet to be certain. Still I find myself spending a great deal of time on the Internet and it is all useful time.
Still yeah, there are times where I spend a bit too much. However, most of the time, I am doing something quite productive. Granted, there are times where I see a game and get a bit into it too much but that's few and far between. Still there are a lot of times where I find myself spending a lot of time. Still, I think that I am in good company and I suppose if I made the effort, I can stop at any time(spoken like a true addict!).

Same with me.
I am so addicted that may not even eat for a whole day provided i am online.
One thing about the internet is that the more you browse and search, the more information i get.
Internet is a great place to spend a whole day.

Though I spend a lot of time online for my business purpose I'm not addicted to Internet. I will have a little problem if internet connection is gone for a day. But if it is disconnected for more than a day or two I will surely be facing problem. I will not say I dislike internet rather I like it. I like all the stuffs available online be it social networking, music, movie whatever. I like them all. At the same time I give my family some happening time which I believe is very important.
