How many of us are addicted to the internet? Be honest.

Hi. My name is Brywool and I'm an Internet Junkie.
Let us bow our heads...

I am too, anything Journey I am addicted too.

I look at it this way, much of the time I spend on the net is time I'd just be watching TV anyway. The net is more interactive. Just another form of entertainment.

Count me in. (raising hand)

Had it not been for the internet, I wouldn't have 'met' some of the ultra cool people that I have 'met,' so I am an internet junkie, too. Besides, there isn't anything worth watching on TV....unless it's football season.

True I too have met some really great friends here on the net.

I was in a wheel chair for 3 1/2 yrs and so it was a great diversion to therapy. Ebay, MR and YouTube ++++ more . I think You Tube finally gave me my junkie status.

I'll never admit it!

More than anything I tend to get addicted to eBay every once in a while! I find so many great things on there & it gets delivered to your door! With 2 little kids (one being Special Needs) I don't get to go antique hunting like I used to - so I do it on eBay. I do check the Journey/SP forums just about every day - god forbid, I should miss something important! I rely on the posters on these forums to let me know about youtube videos, boots & stuff to check out cuz I don't tend to surf.

Well, I am not sure. Maybe I am but maybe I am not. I can't be the judge of that.

My wife says I am, and she's never wrong.

Which One Are You?

Number 1?



Or Number 2?

LOL

Seriously, though. I'd go along with AR's response. However, the difference being I absolutely HATE TV.. Well, except for sports, Raymond, That 70's show and sometimes Reba.. ohh.. and Flip That House!

I have given this some thought over night and I don't think I am. The whole time I am on the internet I am watching TV also. So I'm just positive I don't have this problem. Oh, but maybe that means I am addicted to both. I need to think about this some more.

Ditto. I see no difference between doing this and watching TV for entertainment. In fact this may be more intellectually stimulating because we're interacting with people instead of just watching them.

I'm watching GMA as we speak. But hey, I'm keeping up with current events.

I work in IT, so I literally have the internet up all day at work for one reason or another, and I find time to check this site and a handful of others several times during the day. When I get home, after the kids are in bed - I grab the laptop and mess around while we watch TV. Internet junkie? Yes.

I was bad during tapegate. Had my laptop on vacation and made sure to read this site every day.
