Hey, Yea that is quite funny to hear, I don't think that I am that addicted though. I can actually control myself if I want to go on the Internet or not. I choose to go on the Internet. lol rehab, that is funny. But yes, I also think it is a major problem. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Hm.. I think that is just a minor problem if we can control it, but If we can't control it, it will be a very major problem, such as some one who work a an office, if he can't control it, he will on-line every time and every day, so he will forget his job and the worst impact is he can get fired. happy myLotting..!

for me, i guess internet can be addicted... some people rather want to browse the net, chat, play games online, read and answering blog, and etc. to the point that we already neglect other things to do... the kids for example will rather play online games than study their lesson and even forgot to eat.. maybe bcoz we can do a lot of things using internet.. we forgot about the time, and that we are hungry coz we are busy doing something over the net.. i admit that i used to be one too... to the point that i forgot to clean my room like what i normally do.. i sleep late at night. i seldom bother to go out and enjoy the life outside coz i feel like im already contented with my computer alone... but i just realize during my last vacation without laptop, computer or internet... that there's more life outside... so relax, and so real... more challenging than by facing computer alone.

Wow. I think internet addiction is..yeah..it's a big problem. They spent countless hour in front of computer and just forget they "last-daily-habits" such as eat, take a bath, and socialize face-to-face with friends.
