Are you addicted to computing?

I was thinking about posting a thread about this yesterday but then i saw this article - http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=1603466&page=1&ad=true

This question is probably quite stupid seeing that i'm posting it on a component shops forum but still it begs the question are you addicted to using your computer?

I think i am, don't get me wrong i spend a large amount of time listening to music and watching films, the problem is i can do these things on my computer.

I think I'm in a similar situation to you, however for watching films I go and watch them on TV. But I think the reason people spend a lot of time on them is because there is simply so much to do. Whereas with TV, you flick through the channels, and if you can't find anything you like, what else do you do but turn it off. But on computers, you can almost always find something fun/interesting to do. If there is nothing on the internet to do, you could always talk to friends or perhaps play a game, the possibilities are endless.

This example would best fit the evenings, perhaps of a weekday, because during the earlier hours or at weekends you can go out, meet up with friends and do other things, but going out with friends whenever you have spare time can become expensive and tiring!

Yeah i go out when i can and i almost always watch DVD's up in my room. My problem is i get bored when i'm not on my computer. If i'm not out partying, life can be a little dull. Probably why i find myself longing to pwn sum noobs online.

Thing is i would rather be on my computer than out in the fresh air, in fact i enjoy using it more than i do anything else.
