Re: Internet Addiciton Real?
DHarrisson LOL well you can tell a heroin junky by his itchy twitches, an alchy by how he licks his dry lips.....and an internet junkie is defined by the huge muscle running from his mouse finger up his arm.
If you should happen to come across an internet junkie, please don't try to remove any wireless devices from His person....as you are likely to pull back a bloody stump
Speak calm words to him and let him stay in place until his bateries start to die. This will put him into an agitated state so it is time to put him on the "methodone" treatment for "Netties" hand him a Rubiks cube and while he's spinning the cube quietly take away his wireless devices.
At this point you need to thing about restraining him as the rubiks cube is not likely not to hold is attention. If your Nettie is a text messaging user beware the thumbs....they are deadly.
There is little help for the Nettie...although play episodes of Jimmy Neutron have seemed to have some temporary mitgating effects
But on the serious side.....Addiction in a product of the mind, not the tool, and the addictive personality will latch onto whatever it will.
My life is incredibly entertwined with the internet as it is my profession as well as my hobby. I met my wife online back in 1990 when the internt was almost not the internet...(way before Al Gore Invented it)
It's my number one source of information....but I still go camping and leave the lap top behind....and I am frankly too old to see most hand held devices so it has a place in my life....but my life does not have a place in it.
