An Addiction to the Internet
I do miss reading books but I don't find the time to anymore because I am online most of the time either writing articles, checking email or posting on discussion forums. I used to write letters to pen pals but now it is email that I write which I find easier and faster anyway. The internet is a great tool for communication and learning. Children even do their homework online and I do most of my research online as well.
When my computer broke down not too long ago I didn't know what I was going to do without being able to be online everyday. I was able to borrow my mom's computer until ours was fixed. I was so glad that I wasn't going to have to miss one day online which made me come to the realization that I was hooked. I wonder how many people actually realize they are hooked or will admit to it? Well I admit to it but I still think it is a good addiction.
So if you weren't able to log on everyday, what would you do? Would you find yourself going to the library everyday to log on to the internet or would you find a way to borrow a computer until you were able to get a new one? I am just so grateful for the online world because I am able to make extra money and find the information I need really fast. I can shop online if I want without having to leave my home and chat with my friends in real time. I have made many friends on the internet and I don't know what I would do without them.

Post a CommentThanks for referring me to your article here on AC. If I couldn't log onto the Internet for a few days (even hours!) I'd soon go batty. Must have my e-mail, blogs, AC...etc....
I too am an addict and I am not afraid to admit it.lol. Great article. The Internet has made it possible to do all of your shopping, searching, and planning from the comfort of your own home.
