Our computer network at work was down today. I felt restless and completely unsettled all day. I had plenty of work to do that didn't require a computer, but I was still twitchy. Sigh.
If I'm at home and service becomes unavailable, I become quite disturbed, but in special situations--like the recent move--I can go a few days. But now we have wireless and here I am, using it!
It hits me hardest when I want an answer to something...pronto! Whether its a number, a map, a recommendation, a pic. I can hardly remember the good ol' days when we had to go to the library or use a phonebook.
I was totally addicted to those stupid silly games on FB. I just wanted to WIN! I couldn't stand losing to my other friends (not competitive at all :) I finally gave it up cuz it drove DH nutty. It was SO liberating.
I am so addicted, that when our internet went down for a full day at my work, I had my phone out on my desk so I could access google/facebook/email during every spare 5 minutes I had!
I am so bad- I refuse to stay at hotels without wifi- and when I go to someone's house and they don't have wifi I think they are probably Amish- it has gotten worse with the addition of my iphone- man someone needs to take these things away from me.
Yup, addicted. Check my email umpteen times a day, facebook a couple. Don't use my phone for internet though, so I guess that's points off if I'm aiming for a life-threatening addiction here.
YOU can't be extremely addicted- I don't see you blogging every day, like some people on my blogroll do!
Hmmmm are you refering to computer addiction or to any addiction? While I enjoy my computer and having acess to anything anytime, I am not addicted. I am however addicted to coffee. Specifically Starbucks.
Hopelessly addicted, I own that.

ReplyDeletePlease- the internet goes down and I start worrying about the end of the world. Addict? Check!
ReplyDeleteI can't even remember how I managed to survive in those dark, dark pre-internet days.

ReplyDeleteI don't want to talk about it.
ReplyDeleteLike Niobe, I cannot remember life before Internet, although I'm pretty sure I lived it.
ReplyDeleteWhich begs the question: if something happens and nobody blogs about it, what's the point?
Very!
