Hello...my name is sun and I'm a pc addict :) I freely admit to having a serious addiction to the computer and the net, but I "justify" it by being productive via the net. I order and have my groceries delivered, pay the family bills, as my son outgrows his cothing, I sell them on Ebay, I make and sell costume and period clothing, Mylot, Kazook, anyone who knows me knows the best way to talk to me is via my e-mail, yahoo or MSN. Heck, I met my now husband via the net lol At least in my house, it doesn't present a real problem, as I married a man who shares my passion for the computer and net...our computers are literally side-by-side

Computer/internet addiction was never an issue in the 1980s. That's because the Internet was not yet popular with the general public. Big companies and defense organizations were the first ones to ever start implementing the technology into their systems in the early '80s, and then a huge market was discovered for this technology to get big very big. In the early '90s, psychiatrists and clinicians were beginning to hear of a new medical term, "internet addiction." At first, this was met with a lot of skepticism and denial, however, it became evident that the more people logged on to cyberspace, the more they got hooked
