How addicted to the Internet are you?

Back in the seventies, worked on very high-powered, water-cooled lasers. That was scary. Safety First was no joke! ZZZZzzzzzzzAAAAAAAPPPPPpppp... A few of the guys got nicknamed "Sparky", "Boom-Boom" and "Flash". Luckily, no one was killed or badly injured. Although, there was a guy at Stanford who died in a lab, there.

There was also a gal who died in the Stanford labs when her hair got caught in a machine and she was asphyxiated.

Is there something going on at Stanford we should know about?

No, I am not addicted. I don't go online every day. But, yet, if my internet went down for even a day, when I wanted to go online I would be quite upset.:playful:
 
I try not to go on Facebook too often. I'm too afraid of seeing some extremely inane Facebook status updates from my teenage children. And the obsession with Justin Bieber! My heart can't handle going on Facebook. If this goes on until their college years, I may have a problem on my hands.

And sometimes, I even wonder how some people think this is funny? I mean, I guess I do understand why they might think it's funny. I guess I'm just rambling/ranting on. I apologize. :(
 
Yes, I guess I'm addicted. Having an Ipad and being wireless makes it so easy to open the pad and presto, you are online. I enjoy my Facebook and really like my forums. We, the wife and I, don't have much extra cash so we enjoy our home and have made ourselves very comfortable in it.

65 inch TV, Bose stereo system, iPads and lots and lots of old time country music playing much of the time. Not a life for everyone, but suits us just fine. Plus, neither one of us likes crowds.
 
There was a time I could be on my computer from 4 or 5 in the morning on Saturdays and Sundays and not get off until 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Unfortunately, since my mom moved up by me, my computer time has dwindled significantly and my web sites and digital painting has fallen pretty much by the wayside.

Okay, I got home from the hospital a few hours ago. I had eye surgery and have a big patch on my eye. Can't wear my glasses over it, so things are bit fuzzy with the good eye. And here I sit, attempting to check Facebook and my various email and discussion groups. Does this qualify as an addiction? How 'bout you?

Yes, I would say you qualify.:lofl:

I should talk! If my pc is down for whatever reason it's like I lost a limb! But I'm also prejudiced as I met my husband online so there you go for the net being important to me!
 
I find it very useful and even fun most of the time, but if things aren't going right.....Thank goodness for the OFF button.
