'The Internet can be addicting, so much so that the term Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) has entered the medical lexicon. University of Pittsburgh researcher Kimberly Young maintains that IAD is as real as alcoholism, characterized by loss of control, cravings and withdrawal symptoms, social isolation, marital discord, academic failure, excessive financial debt, and job termination.',Intro to Multimedia 2003 (EMM2016)

i'm one of the sufferers. mind you, i'm not proud of it.

the invention of the WWW is definitely to assist people to do lots of things. being invented in a physics department to pass information between collegues, it has now spread all over the world. being connected to the internet means being connected to the world. you can be in india at 8 and fly to santa monica at 8 15. everything is just one click away.

i can connect to the internet for like days, non stop.

common people, support me. don't let me go on with this activity next semester. i'm tired of not having sleep before my papers, hate cramming everything at one go before exams. i'm definitely not spongebob (even he has suds!).

ok. back to neopet
