Title: Are you addicted to the internet?
Post by: serious crayons on March 19, 2007, 01:23:58 am
Your score: 65

You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.

No surprise, really. In fact, I thought it would be worse. But is it the internet's fault, or RL's fault?

I'm a bit surprised that I have a higher score than David, seen that he has 3,444 posts on here already, compared to me with 765..  ???

Either the test is no good, or you lied, David!  ;D

43-You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.

And only because of fan fiction. I don't surf-it's here or LiveJournal reading. I think it's the staying up til 5 in the morning ready that is tweaking my score...
and maybe missing the gym a couple of times or possibly blowing off my friends-hmmmmm....

I had 45...You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.

I think the score would have been significantly higher if I'd taken this test a year ago :).

I had an average score too! I thinnk this research was put together by Bill Gates LOL!

One thing I answered "Always" to was "Do you block out upsetting experiences with thoughts of the Internet?" Yes, I do. It's the only way I survive!!

Me, too. But then what does one do to block out upsetting experiences ON the Internet?

Well, when that happens you have to don your "heavy boots" (like in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close") and slog on thru!!

Speaking personally, I find the best way to contend with unpleasant experiences on the Internet, is to just pretend they didn't happen. I mean, they only happened in cyberspace; ergo, they didn't actually happen at all, in reality. It works for me. But then again, I always have been a fantasist!  ::)  ;)  :-*  :laugh:
