7 Signs of Computer/Internet Addiction

The 7 Symptoms of Computer Addiction
1) “Having a sense of well-being or euphoria while at the computer”
- Come on now, programming just makes me happy!
2) “Inability to stop the activity”
- It’s a part of my job and it’s fun!
3) “Craving more and more time at the computer”
- If only I didn’t have to sleep, then there would be enough time.
4) “Neglect of family and friends”
- My wife is in law school, she’d rather me be busy than bothering her while studying anyways. My friends… they talk to me on the computer (TeamSpeak)!
5) “Feeling empty, depressed, irritable when not at the computer”
- I’m irritable because it’s inefficient to go camping without internet access and electricity! Seriously, why no WiFi at the campground?
6) “Lying to employers and family about activities”
- This one I would never ever do, I promise.
7) “Problems with school or job”
- How is it a problem? You think my boss wants me to work less? Geesh.

Yeah, sounds exactly like me, haha.
Only I do have a friend that everytime I see her she says "omg you're off the computer/myspace!"
