web forums rule!!! :cheers:
I log on at least once a day- but sometimes i need to take a couple of days off whene i don't even go in the spare room 'cos otherwise i become addicted. it's one of the reasons why i rarely drink and have never smoked or done drugs- I'm scared I'd become addicted very quickly.

I was without tinternet for 3 weeks when we moved in here and it was killing me.

I don't get on much when I am away for work (like last week) but every day otherwise!

The internet is all media to me. I use it for music, news, communications, forums, shopping, my photography, everything.

When I can't connect I get frustrated - so yes, probably addicted too.

Sad? What would I do without it? I think I need to spend some time away from it to be honest.

I really would not like to be with out it ... I use it for seeking knowledge, fun, social, My writing and selling pics/cards ... The only time I don't log on is on holiday and thats only because I really dislike internet cafes ... mind you I do have access to a laptop now :flower:

I've just had a forced week off due to computer problems and it felt like my right arm had been cut off. Back on now though so all is right with the world again.

Since meeting the BF, I have cut down on my internet browsing. Too much else to do :wink:

We had been wondering whether it was just all that "else" that was keeping you away... :wink:

I've sometimes wondered this myself... am I becoming too attached to, or even addicted to the 'net?!

I dunno.
I do find it really useful for practical day-to-day things like checking the latest weather forecast, as well as listening to music (much of which I might've never heard).
It's like having a huge library too, for research.
I've met people from 'net forums that have become good friends 'in real life'. I even met my partner online.

I don't really miss the internet when we go off for a few days camping. As other folks have said, it's nice to forget about it for a while.

I appreciate it though, and now I wouldn't want it to be without it altogether!
