How addicted to the Internet are you?

O I think I am addicted.On it every day and any body that knows me would have thought you on a computer or a tablet you having laugh you can't switch one on.:)
 

I'm "addicted" to our desktop........period. Almost everyday checking on FB, news, weather and some other "Favorite" websites I have, including now, Senior Forum. I've bought things from Amazon, E-Bay and other company's. Have sold some things on Craigslist as well........with absolutely no problems. With Craigslist, people have came to our old house (when we sold some furniture) and to our apt. to look at/buy something we had for sale. When doing selling or buying on the Internet, got to be careful, but my middle name is "careful" (LOL).

All of the photography I take, I process on our computer, with photo software, and save photos to USB's. Some I print out.


I started using a computer in 1989 for employment. Used old Basic 4 for Stockroom stuff for an electronics company. After that, I started using UPS, Common Carrier and Fed X computers in Warehouse, Ship/Rec. Then, got involved with Purchasing and Inventory Control/Inventory Management and the Accounting Software dealing with those departments. I don't do the "hunt and peck" thing. My typing speed is approx. 70 wpm! And, my 10 key skills aren't bad either. Had 3 years of typing in high school.
Actually, I keep spreadsheets of all repairs for our two vehicles and boat. I've got every receipt for each since buying each! Have my own filing for each.

Do I love computers.........in one word, YES!! And, my wife uses a computer everyday at work.
 
I don't know what I would do without my iPad. I was looking at the Morgan Freeman painting on here, and now I am browsing the iPad painting apps and thinking about trying my hand at iPad finger painting next.

My oldest son asked me to write down some of the stories from when I was growing up in North Idaho, and information about my parents, and stories about their early life as well. He wanted something that he can show his kids, so the family information can be passed down and not lost.
I decided to make a blog, so people would also be able to comment on the stories as I posted them online. I know absolutely NOTHING about making a blog, but I discovered that Google has an easy-to-make app called Blogger; so I started writing, and now I have several stories on there, and will add more stories and pictures as I learn more about how to utilize all the little gadgets they give you to add on things with.

I am having a great time with it, and hoping that it turns out to be something that will help save some family memories.

Life used to be easier for me, and allowed me a lot of computer time. These days, since my husband died, and life keeps piling up my 'to do' list, I'm always called away to do things.
It's a good thing I guess, as I stay in shape better and feel more in touch with everything.
But I still play on the computer in my spare time, and enjoy it when I do.. :)

Thank you for your good wishes, Guys. It was just my second cataract surgery. Hopefully my third eye is in good shape! Now if the foot doctor lets me trace this knee-high, hot and heavy boot for that little nylon jobbie tomorrow I'll feel like a new person! Now I wonder what the cure if for Internet addiction - do you say the Serenity prayer and get a chip if you can stay off of it for an hour?

Only if you go through the 12-step program.
 
I don't consider it an addiction anymore than another utility like water, gas and electricity.

It's just a thing I use throughout the day.
