do you think we might be addicted??? I get anxious when I don't have internet access (I used my phone for fb when I was stuck in the hospital after having the girls.) |
I do too  I got DH to bring FIL or SIL's laptop in to the hospital when I was there (although, to put it into context, I was in there for 4 1/2 weeks....). I am generally online when the girls are asleep, or happily playing, or while I'm having my breakfast. Doesn't help that all of my study is online based too...and then I get sidetracked. I have cut down a lot on my net usage lately though, just from being too busy or not home. Helps that the girls don't sleep as much during the day now!!!

I think because internet is so readily available...and endless in what you can acomplish on there...makes it so enticing! lolz. And DP and I are like info tech junkies. We have the desk top, laptop (which my dad got me for tech), Wii...which can hook into the net, 2 blackberry type phones that connect wireless to the net...and an ipod touch that connect wireless as well. Definitely need to cut down on un course related browsing. Did pretty well last night.

I definitely spend WAY too much time on here. I'm a terrible procrastinator and find myself getting distracted on OB, Trademe, FB when I should be doing housework!
This is interesting...
Internet addiction test
Not telling you what my score was though!

I am glad to hear I am not the only one and I did not use the net at all while in hospital after giving birth to DD and I was there for a few days. Most of my friends live overseas so FB is my way of staying in contact and then I don't know where I would be without OB!
I just did that test and got a low score so maybe I am not as bad as I thought, but still I think if I don't get a handle on it I could end up with a "problem"  although anything that gets me away from housework can't be all bad can it?

I used to spend way too much time on the net - mainly OB & FB. I banned myself from these 2 websites for a week (made it to 6 days lol) and I was really embarrassed by how much time I had to do things like spending time with the kids, DH, housework etc.
I can't access FB from work (OB is OK though ) and I only 'let' myself go online after I've finished the housework at night, though by that time I'd rather sit and relax with DH and really can't be bothered to go on the net.

I spend next to no time on the net at home as there are always better things to do but I am on the computer all day at work so that is when I get a chance to check out OB and FB.

I just took the net addiction test and got the following score.

Not as bad as I thought I'd get
