Hi there everyone. I am back from a weekend at home where I ignored the internet. When I return back to my dorm, while I am talking about my weekend with my roomie and getting all settled back in, I am turning on m beloved laptop and signing on my AIM and checking my facebook & myspace.
It was seriously like I was in internet withdrawal. We spend WAY to much time on the internet, and I am guilty of this also. I have a facebook, a myspace, i blog here, i check my email, and do a whole lot of school work on the internet! Where would we be without this technology.
We would probably be in a little bubble and having truly meaningful relationships with the people around us. When was the last time you sat down and talked to someone. We are all just sitting here creating relationships online, which I am not saying it's a bad thing, I just want all of us to realize that we should be spending more time in the relationships we have with the people surrounding us. I am especially guilty of IMing my roomie when she is sitting at her desk and me at mine, 1 ft. away from each other, how ridiculous is that!
Please help me break my internet addiction!

I am a fellow addict myself. Though my computer was taken away from me so my parents can check their important spam email I love it. I am on Gaiaonline and Deviantart. Those 2 sites take all the free time I have. But I’m not as bad as I use to be. Best way to break a habit is convince yourself that you need to stop and take action. I use to spend about 9 hours a day on the computer, but now I just get on to check my messages and update things. If you really want to stop, make yourself a time limit too. Like 30 minutes.
Well this is another website all of us can add to our addicted list. Haha.
I think that the internet and this generation's addiction to it is here to stay. I think that we will most likely become even more addicted.

Perhaps they need to start an "internet's anynomous". Wouldn't that be a hoot? But sadly, it may just be necessary in this day and age. But until noon tomorrow, I have to be an internet addict because I have to win this scholarship! You talked about being a lifetime student in one of your other posts. I really want to take this class, but I can't do it unless I win! So, hence my motivation for being an addict until December 15! lol...
