Before I learn to use the internet my kids use to drive me crazy. They though they had to be on it all the time. They kept wanting to teach me and I would tell them I I did not need the internet. I finally gave in and let them teach me the basic. I started out getting one the computer a few day a week. The more and more. I started learning more and more. The next thing I new I was on the computer every day. I can't live without it. My kids now get onto me lol. Have a Blessed Day

I wouldn't really say that I am addicted to the internet. Sure, I enjoy spending time doing things on the internet, like going on facebook, being on mylot, and things like that, but I can spend days away from it as well.

The same can be said of me. I am on the internet virtually all day because of my work and school but I wouldn't say I am addicted to it. However, I do find that I am very dependent on it since I cannot earn or study effectively without the internet. I go berserk if I lose connection even for a few minutes! Aside from social media, I have sites like Snopes and Oddee that I regularly visit for information and entertainment purposes.

The internet can be very addicting considering that you are a newbie to it and you want to go on and discover what all is there in the internet. Even when I was new to learning about the internet I spent a lot of hours each day jsut browsing and getting to know new things. Its like a baby with a new toy playing with it all day long because it is something different and new to them. So it is nothing unusual. As time goes by your usage of the internet may reduce to some extent. But in the mean while see what more you can get to know and discover in the beginning few days. It will all help. I guess may be wondering as yo why did they tell you about the internet.haha.. You too have a blesses day..

I think that might be why I am so addicted. My children are all grown and moved out except my 1 teenage daughter and she always has something to do. My husband job make him travel so he is gone a lot. I am home by myself with the dogs. Have a Blessed Day

I guess I am haha. I spend a good 7 or 8 hours on it per day which is a lot! Sometimes it surprises me how much time I spend on it. I tell you what though, it's not too bad, there are a lot of neat things online. I would think a lot of people nowadays spend a lot of time online. It can be a good thing and a bad thing, as long as you carry on with everyday activities.

lol I love the internet. So much stuff to do on it. The world has gotten a lot bigger since the internet was born.. Computers and internet are like part of people's lives since the day they were born. Of course not including those who don't really have access to it. But yeah I guess I am addicted to the internet because it's so cool.

Good day to you, I will not consider myself a computer addict but I think my day will not be complete if I dont have internet. As this is a part of my everyday routine, that is to log on to the net. Hence almost all of my work requires the use of internet.

I dont think,i am addicted to internet.Anyway,i uses internet for 2 or 3 hours everyday.I rarely uses facebook or twitter.and never ever the internet games.So i can clearly say i am not a facebook addict. I uses the net mostly for building up my private space in the online world through blogs.Anyway,still a long way to travel to reach the target. Happy Mylotting :-)

I guess I'm also addicted to the internet. Internet provides lots of information and ease in finding material for my college assignment. Add to friendship, and makes a great distance to be very close. Internet also makes communication with my family who lived far away, becomes easier. I am very Grateful to be able to enjoy the internet everyday. Happy Mylotting to all. :D

Yes i am addicted to internet.But some times i find nothing on internet. Before joining to mylot it was still ok.But after joining here it has become an ultimate addiction and i can't live without it.In order to get rid of my addiction i changed my ISP to weekend plans where it works only on saturdays and sundays.So now i go off internet on working days.

Ha, Internet could be both side. But don't addicted to it. Sometimes going out for games or yoga for girls would be better than staying at home and watch the terminal. Go out and have fun!! :-)
