Since the arrival of the internet - I have found most of my time is consumed with using this medium for 90% of what I need or love to do. Have you found that more of your personal time has been spent using the internet more than you realise?

Yes, Internet is really addictive. I spent a lot of time in Internet, where I always ask myself to stop surfing and leave my computer, but I just can't. I will just stick to my computer, and keep surfing, reading and typing. Especially after I've found earning money online sites, I am even more addicted to the Internet.

Addiction is a evil monster. It creeps in and gets you when you are least expecting. For me, it is not so much an addiction as it is a need. I am disabled. While I am more mobile now than I was two years ago, I can do things on the internet that I am unable to do otherwise. Addiction means that you simply cannot live with out something. For me, that is not the case. If I were addicted, I would not have gone on vacation and left my laptop behind. I would have been sure to make some excuse to bring it along. I mean, the hotel we stayed offers free wireless internet connection for their guests - why not bring the laptop along? Right? The fact that bringing the laptop would have been a major inconvenience wouldn't have factored in if I were addicted. Granted, I have grown accustomed to doing things online that would be otherwise a major chore. I love the convenience. It has opened up doors for me that I didn't expect to have opened. Yes, I use the internet for a lot of things and I spend quite a bit of time online, but not because I am addicted to it. Great topic!

almost half of my day spent in front of my computer... Nowadays many $$$ were offered in the net... So I grab it whenever it is not a scam... So I earn when I'm online... not earn in the real thing... but earn knowledge and things...
