Do you think you are addicted to the internet? Feel free to specify your answers below...
Edit: Internet curfew in the poll is probably not a very accurate term, I meant basically internet blocks. I came up with this because in South Korea the government blocks the internet at night (at least some gaming sites) for young people. Don't ask me how they enforce it (only on young people).

I'm on the internet a lot because of my job. I don't think I spend too much time online, and I pretty much never get online when I'm at home.

Although I use the internet many hours a day, if I could I would live in a world with no technological communication.

And that's exactly why I'm here everyday for so long because of the vast amount of knowledge just a click or touch away.

I spend most of my time on the web dicking around. I get a lot of informations about my projects but I get them completed very seldom. I think the web saved me from total apathy but on the other side it killed my survivor skills. At least I can get drugs from it. Hope Ill get out of this soon

I spend from 2 to 6-8 hours a day, mostly around 4, and the only thing Im proud of is that I stopped playing online games. Ive never been very fond of them, at least not enough to spend entire years on them, but I always had the hope to find something good. I also lived for almost an year without computer, internet, and maybe also cellphone, because I was flipping out and decided to, and didnt suffered that much. I have tons of things to do at home so I try to enter the web just on coffee breaks, after dinner, and to hear some music if I need it. In fact I was thinking to stop using home connection and take a cellphone with it to reduce costs. Internet is a powerful tools but it has some very deep dark spots one should avoid

I use the internet as a TV, we don't have cable so my "time" on the internet isn't all surfing.
