PSYCHOLOGY OF CYBERSPACE ::
I came across this topic during one of my recent journal reviews..Its quite interesting to learn how the internet plays a part in our lives. There is a demarcation between the use of internet as a source of livelihood and for entertainment purposes..

Top 10 Signs You're Addicted to the Net :
[In a narrow sense, Would the signs mentioned below be applicable to bloggers as well ??]
10. You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop and check your e-mail on the way back to bed.
9. You get a tattoo that reads "This body best viewed with Netscape Navigator 1.1 or higher."
8. You name your children Eudora, Mozilla and Dotcom.
7. You turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, like you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
6. You spend half of the plane trip with your laptop on your lap...and your child in the overhead compartment.
5. You decide to stay in college for an additional year or two, just for the free Internet access.
4. You laugh at people with 2400-baud modems.
3. You start using smileys in your snail mail.
2. The last mate you picked up was a JPEG.
1. Your hard drive crashes. You haven't logged in for two hours. You start to twitch. You pick up the phone and manually dial your ISP's access number. You try to hum to communicate with the modem.
You succeed.

Yes, some is apllicable to bloggers as well,especially using smileys.

serioulsy speaking I prefer meeting people in person than thro blogs.
The way things are going soon we will eat sleep do everything in front of a pc.
me on 10,4 & 3
thatz why i try out a week of shutdown every month... mouna viratham madhiri.. no pc viratham... appo first 2 naal kurukuru-nu irukum.. but next 5 days its fun...
well some of them apply to bloggers as well I guess :)
except for 10 which I do occasionally, I haven't done any of the other 9. Still am one big time addict of the net, other than time I sleep, eat, cook or talk on the phone rest of the time I am on the internet :-)
hehe Dr.Suler needs to revise his predictions ;-)
I really get cranky if I lose my Internet Connection.. It literally stops my day right there...
Addiction to the NET ...tell me about it.!! I am sitting here thinking what would happen if the NET goes down for a few days..! Why...a few hours.!!
Oops, I think I need therapy.!! My addiction levels are pretty high...!! If I take the points you've mentioned.!!
" 10. You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop and check your e-mail on the way back to bed..." + Login to Messenger to see if any buddy is online.
--> very much true! ;-)
haha..checkin msgr for sure anytime i wake up :P...whether at house or office...

The search has just begun !!!
I think i am going near to Blog addiction.

anybody ?!
haha ... funny. I particularly liked Point 5. In fact, when I was leaving college this was one of my major concerns!
From TV addiction(didn't even dream I would give up on watching TV) to Internet addiction now.
dude - the first thing I do when I get up in the morning is switch on my computer! :)
intersting and hilarious one on these net things...
Hmm.. Good one.. point 6 super ;-)
hahaha... i dont have any of these signs but still feel that i am addicted :)
2 days back i went to the eye doc for treatment.
Doc:
enna velai pannareenga?
Me:
Software Doctor
Doc:
Oru nalaiku 8 hrs computer munnadi dana?
Me:
Illa doctor, adukkum mela irukkum
Doc:
Hm. Kalaila pal velakradhukku munnadi irundhu night thoongaradhu varaikum online daan nu sollunga
Me:
:(
Why would i ever open my mouth? I dont know how many of my tribesmen had gone to him for the same eye problem
Very hilarious
You are not just addicted to the Internet. You are tethered to it. How else do you explain the fact that I need to periodically check my online banking account just to make sure I pay my bills on time or otherwise start to panic if a due date falls *today* and I am yet to initiate payment for a CC :-)
Good post.. first time to your spot..
NANYAAR?
check this one :)))))
:-)) Haha... 'Eudora' would be a nice name for a baby girl!
