well I just had knee-op (ligament replacement) and although I was only in hospital overnight – for the last week it’s not really been possible for me to do any work for any extended time – due to knee brace and general irritable pain.
(yes I have a laptop – but please – don’t compare 30 minutes laptop surfing to dual monitor PCs with all my bookmarks and emails …)
:wink-wink* Withdrawal, including feelings of anger, tension and/or depression when the computer is inaccessible;
Pretty much sums me up over the last week ….
:tongue:SO am I addicted? Hell yeah !!
Mind you – what do all the people who don’t use the net do with al;l the spare time? And don’t tell me watch TV/Videos …. that’s all I’ve been doing and it’s mindless non-interactive entertainment.
Yuch !!
:Cry::roflmao:
I did notice that one of the internet addiction warning sign questions appears to be missing…
* Are you reading this post at 4 in the morning and hoping to find a question that is not spot on?
:sarcasm:
I was in the hospital with heart failure, in the Cardiac Unit, with IVs and oxygen on 24hrs a day and as soon as I could sit up I had my wife bring in my laptop. So I am guilty.
Yeah, but are you a workoholic or an internet addict, worried what might have happened to your business while you were absent or just bored in the hospital?
One can’t lump everything together like that.
I am a workoholic, whether I work online or off. So I set limits for myself, in the early evening I shut the computer off and it’s gone til the next morning.
Whatever the actual cause of spending too much time online, it’s generally easily managed by just making a rule for shut down and doing other things.
Oh I’m hopelessly internet addicted for sure. However this is a good thing as it keeps away the more pernicious addictions!
