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!
