I scored 51, and I don't have a problem. The test has a problem. Just because I've been known to wash socks in the sink in the morning because I was on the Internet too long to do laundry.... Sometimes I fall asleep and leave the computer on all night, but who doesn't? I mean, I could stop any time, I just don't want to.

oh yak yak yak
Ok i've sat back and considered its impact on my life and found without it I wouldn't be sociable, keep in touch with friends and family, know what's happening with my bank account, be able to work properly at home, shop around the world, get tickets for gigs, get a good holiday deal, find information I need within the time I need it, yak yak yak, so if it wasn't for the www I'd have more than a few frequent problems

Sorry 'Soccer Moms' and 'Budweiser Dads', but you can't blame the internet or video games for your childs irrational sense of society, you only have YOURSELF and your parental skills to blame. Sadly no one will "man up" and blame themselves because no one wants to think of themselves as "the cause" of the problem.

I agree, if you love to read, and I have always been a voracious reader, the only difference now is, like you say, instead of buying or checking out a few books, you now have the world of never-ending stuff to read at your keyboard fingertips, all topics, etc, you can veer off from one topic to another endlessly, and if you choose to, interact with others who already have the same topics in common who want to discuss them...the Internet is a wonderful place
