i think that's true.............most of the people are now computer addicted n that's prety obvious because today about 60-70%services are computerized. i personally use my pc for apprx 5-7hours daily.

Just because there has been a significant increase in services being transferred to computers does not prove that the number of people addicted to computers is increasing, services are made computerized for various reasons mainly because they are able to operate more efficiently on computers for example small businesses who may only have one store can flourish greatly by taking of advantage of selling their products online.

Hi Sumitn, I think spending 5-7 hours on the computer is normal. I spend about 16-18 hous on the computer everyday.

Yes definitely. Computers make us lazy, we are so focused that even if we are hungry and our stomach is growling we still stay on our chair browsing the web lol

Yes, actually I do feel people these days are addicted to computers, including me. I simply don't know what to do if I turn off the computer. I have been hanging on my laptop for so long and for so many hours everyday now, if I don't have internet I get so bored and have no idea what to do This is strange!

I do believe they are. It is easy to do. There are a lot of things that can be done and people are using them all the time.

Most definitely. It's made our lives easier and give people access to instant information and communication. It's only a problem when people begin to neglect real life and the people around them. Sometimes an addiction to the computer can destroy relationships. I've seen it happen. It can also be really sad when parents would rather play games on the computer than spend time with their kids.

People are certainly becoming more dependant on a computer, although I think there is a specific difference between this and actually being addicted. Personally, I use the internet for everything which means that I do actually spend a lot of time online every day. My job is online, and I earn my entire wage from being on the internet every day. I also use it for my banking and for buying presents for birthdays and Christmas, so I literally have to spend many hours of each day online just to be able to do things which I need to do to be able to live properly.

People use computer because now-a-days it became a necessity. I think people don't get addicted to the "computer" per se but with the activities they do with it. Games, Facebook, blogging, uploads, downloads, etc. As we all know, there are quite a lot of stuffs we can do when we're using our PCs. Its' the activities they do using the computer that's why they get hooked with their computers :)

People are very much addicted to the computer and internet. People are so addicted that they invest in expensive smart phones to keep the internet always at their fingertips. Honestly between computers, smart phones, and gaming systems yeah people are very addicted to their gadgets.

My major is computer science. So, ready or not, like it or not, I have to face my computer every day :p Talking about addiction.. Well, some people are got that addiction, and another people aren't. While I am seeing some people around me - on my neighborhood, they rarely use computer in daily life.. Well, that's the fact.
