Yes, it is possible, if you stay on it all day. And if you never seem to get anything done, it can make you appear to be Computer-Internet crazy!

You can get addicted to the Internet just like anything else. You can get addicted to being outside and being productive too. Anything not in moderation is considered by most to be over done or over used or addictive or whatnot. This world is wacky. I say do what makes you happy as long as it doesn't make anyone else less happy.

Me posting this doesn't make anyone less happy does it?

Yes, very much . Even we people too do it at times.We get addicted to Internet and then begin to use it too much . This results in over-using it,i.e using it for Needless purposes and devoting "too" much time on it .

yeah...i think its possible... i may even be one of those who are addicted to it to some extant because i do spend quite a lot of time there. and when yo add in the fact that i spend a bit of time on Second Life, yeah...when im home most of my time is spent online. but at least on this site its time well spent.

Yes I do. I have a friend that is on all the time. She spends about 8 hours a day on the internet.

Many people 'over use' the internet everyday.
While it's great to be able to network with so many people from around the world, people are forgetting how to interact in the real world as everyone spends more and more time in front of computer screens.
Real communication is much more than emails and im's. It's about hearing someone's voice, watching their body language and looking at their reactions to things.
However, many people are now unable to communicate successfully in real life, because they are so used to online communication.
