I was never addicted to the internet, but yes, it helps me do a lot of things.. First of all it helps me sort out the problems that I am having with anything.. I can find solution to any problem of mine on the internet.. In additon to that, i use internet for chatting, downloading music and movies and doing a whole lot of stuff that can keep me busy while I am getting bored... And lastly, it is helping me earn money thru mylot...

Congratulations on not having an internet addiction! Good for you! :-) Yes, the internet really can enhance our lives and I think it does. The wealth of information that is available at our fingertips is truly amazing, via the internet.
