Why is it that the internet is such a huge addiction, like you're smoking crack or something and just can't let it go, you want more and more and it's never enough. :$
my Online Friends are an Addiction... As is Chocolate... I keep Trying to Give Chocolate Go...But There are so many Hours in a Day............
yea... I love chocolate too... something that I wouldn't let go... And could be tired from the internet, it could be like marijuana and make you tired after while.
It happens. =) At least you have something do instead of just endlessly staring at the wall or something.
I don't know, I go through periods where I'm ridiculously addicted to the internet and times where I think I'd be better off without it. My computer was giving me some problems the other day and I thought to myself that I didn't even want a new computer if mine was on the fritz. But yet, I still keep logging on.
It's like, my computer is set up in the area of the house that gets the most traffic. Sometimes I think if it were set up somewhere like say, my bedroom, I wouldn't use it as much. But it's right smack dab in the dining room between my living room and my kitchen, two rooms in which I'm in more often that not.
For me...I think it's because half of the time the internet is more interesting than my real life. And then there's days when once I log on...I find that there's nothing important to do on the internet, and I become sick of it within 5 minutes. I guess you could say I have a love-hate relationship with the internet.
I love the internet, but I love people more. Right now, I am exposed to probably 15 people a month, most of whom I work with and see everyday... so my time is dedicated more to the internet... there is so much here, so much information... I've learned way too much off the internet... people take it for granted. All of humanity's knowledge is at your fingertips, use it! I'm much more inclined towards people than the internet when I am around people though, you can learn more from a single person than from the entire paper knowledge humanity has gathered.
Yea, I think a lot of the people on the internet (especially here) are more interesting then most of the people I know in real life. And I have those days too where I get on, nothing interesting is going on... so then I have to deal with real life
Maybe because no matter how much time you spend on the net....the bill is going to be the same. Might as well get your money's worth. Like the above poster said, the people here are very interesting....whereas most people around where I live are very close minded and boring. In this small town people are satisfied with the same routine everyday, and don't strive for something new and exciting. The same ol shit everyday makes me want to jump of the bridge into the Kentucky River just to see if I would make it.
