Internet spoils me!!

I´m an addict with internet. I promise I will not stay too long, but one thing leads to another. I have lots af subjects that appeal to me and some of them are results of a post I read here at mylot. The web has so many different things, including books you want to reread and cannot find anymore in libraries or bookstores. It´s an endless journey

Tell me about it friend.....I have changed so much after getting Internet.......there is so much to read, to learn, to do, so much knowledge, fun , interest that attract you like magnet.......I think first time I was in Internet in 2000 and now it is 2011.....in this eleven years I have changed from angel to Satan, but at the same time I realized that now this Satan kind of mind has taught me how to face challenges in life and how to know who is your real friends and who is your enemy in disguise of friend.......My brain actually start to work after I got into Internet and saw what actually people are doing and how this world is working.......in short I really got matured after I was in Internet , so I will say Internet does not spoils us but instead teaches you things which nobody can teach you. There may be some drawbacks, like wasting lot of time on PC but believe me Internet is our friend and not enemy.

I normally switch on the Computer at 10:00 am and it stays online till I say good night. The entire day I stay online researching and reading... I spend all my day doing things that I love. Great for people like me who stay at home most of the day and gain knowledge and work all from the internet.

I am the same way. Whenever I go on the internet to look something up, I end up finding a dozen more things to look up. It can be a never ending thing, that is the reason I often end up on the internet for hours each day. I am honestly not sure how I ever managed to survive before the internet.

We're almost the same. Every time I sat down in front of a computer to do a particular thing, I always end up in many different sites. I think I'm stuck with those sites that I can't continue with my purpose of using the computer. It's indispensable.

No it is not possible for me because Iam a curious boy who reads everything what looks like interesting for me :P

Well, I am a surfer and but limit for what I am doing because of many some reason. The first reason was the limit set by the website alone. The second was there are many website that I need to surf and get more credit from them... The good thing when I surf was to win cash prize sometimes and really good to surf daily if I see that I am always a winner of $10, $5, $2 or $1... This is my daily activities just surfing and surfing. How about you friend do get some when you surf the internet?

Sometimes, I just let go and turn off the computer. I would sleep or eat and work on something else. I keep in mind that the internet will not leave anyway, that I can return later. I admit there's the temptation to play games but an offline game like solitaire can work on that. There is only the need to classify websites if addicting or not and the problem is half solved.

I happened to be spoiled by internet this morning. I really wanted to end surfing this morning but I could not give up easily stop not doing that anymore. I just wanted to get on and on until I was stuck and tried to find the way out of it. I felt relieved after I was out and never wanted to get captured again with the same site. If I open it I knew that I like it so much.

Pushyarag : I am also like you only. Initially I will go to yahoomail and gmail and then mylot. Upto this it is certain. thereafter depending on topic I read newspaper and other websites. do not feel guilty. amidst all this I also do some useful work related to my profession-writing.

Yes I am I live by a scedule when to do what. To be honest I don't like surfing the internet since I seldom find something interesting. Mylot works better for me if it comes to getting info or different points of view. This keeps me busy thinking and thinking over and figuring out how or what or why in a positive way.

It is really easy to get distracted on line. As long as you stay productive you should be okay. I find myself looking at the time when I have deadlines to meet. If your just browsing online take a break as you would need time to stretch and have time for other activity.

I thing Internet is the one of the best place where we can get rid from bore. I think it is very easy to get into Internet but it is very difficult to get out of it. I find very difficult to get out from it even during my exam days.

This is not only your problem. It happens always. If we have time it is good to surf and get the ideas.Meantime we should try to limit ourselves.

Hello... Yes, this has happened to me too, plenty of times... There is a lot of data and everything (almost) is accessible. I used to log in with the purpose of doing something & after a couple of hours, I'd find myself doing something else. The solution is: when you log in, first of all do what you had planned to do, it'll require a little practice, but its not impossible. Tell yourself not to divert until your work is done...

Hello Pushhyarag2000, Internet is like an ocean and there are lot of things we can do when we are online.Like you i also have many things in my mind to do when i am online and sometimes even i don't get time to do mylot due to those things.That the beauty of internet it keeps me busy with some constructive things.
