Addicted? Probably: even when I'm on vacation, if I have to go without Internet access for a couple weeks, I start thinking of a whole bunch of things I need to look up and get a little antsy. It probably doesn't help that I've oriented my life around using the Internet for things, so I practically *have* to use it all the time.
On the flip side, I still have friends that I regularly spend time with in person, I successfully completed my Bachelor's degree and have a respectable job, so my online life hasn't gotten in the way of my real life. Plus, the Internet has allowed me to keep in touch with friends and family far away (hooray for video chat!), and make new ones all over the world, allowing me to explore new places when I visit them in real life (and in my experience, they've been just as fun to talk to and hang out with in real life as online).
And on the other
other side...
It's all about the pterodactyl porn.
My
Internet Experience? enabled me to find an example in roughly ten seconds
without using a search engine, and I'm not quite sure I should be proud of that...
