Internet addiction

[a4access]

Are you addicted to your online connection? Are you one of those crazy folks that can’t wait to read the email with your morning coffee? Doctors are calling it serious addiction combined with: Cybersexual Addiction, Computer Addiction and Cyber-Relational Addiction. They even managed to stamp the cool names for it, like Internet Addictive Disorder (IAD) or the Internet Overuse Syndrome (IOS). Based on the latest research and simple human reasoning. Internet addiction should not be labeled as addiction like gambling or drug addiction. There should be a strict line that distances other addictions from the “internet addiction”. Staying in touch with your friends or watching funny YouTube videos is not a destructive behavior which usually characterizes major addictions. If you gamble on the internet then you are not addicted to the internet, but online gambling. Internet is a wonderful tool, but like everything else in this Universe there is the sunny side and the dark side of the pyramid of life. Stay Positive!

I remember the first time I saw this sweety back in 1998 (around last quatar)... I used a 28.8K Modem with really slow telephone. Connection speed was 14.4K. There was no "Google" Even there was one I didn't know about it. Yahoo! was my first web page I browsed and for searching as well.. Sonique.exe (MP3 player) was the first file I downloaded.. First bad website browsed? well didn't knew much so I typed sex.com and looked LOL. And best search engine was Altavista. And Netscape browser..
Since then I've being addicted... Then I had 33.6K and 56K Dialup. Then 128K ADSL.. after that 512K ADSL... Now I'm using 24Mbps ADSL2+... This is huge when I'm comparing to what I started with.
Am I addicted? Yes... I can't spent a one week without it...
