I have cut way down on internet usage the past few days to try and not be online as much.  It's amazing how I suddenly feel free and I can do so many things.  I'm 31 so I was around when this interwebs thing began.  I feel obligated, maybe not addicted, to go online and check and see what's out there.  I'm trying to cut back and the sensation of not having to be online is exhilarating.  

Does anyone else feel like they *have to* go online?  Let's not throw the word addiction around but how do you folks feel about the internet and how you use it?

Not really, I always liek to check the news and whatever sites I use but to be honest i get pretty bored with it pretty quickly. Maybe I just have a limited imagination, the most I use it is for study or work purposes.

...Yes, I do. I literally can't go a day without the internet. Not an addiction, really, but I just can't live without it. I'm sort of compelled to come online and play. Not because I'm just sad and lifeless, but I have friends here. I really only have 2 real friends in reality, compared to the online world.

Heh.

Yeah I would say yes. The first thing I do when I get home is go on Vizzed. I feel more like it's a responsibility for me to be on here and contribute than an addiction.

warmaker : I'm right there with you. I was around when the internet started as well. Just a year difference between you and I. I don't feel the need to go online, there's some days when I just don't go on at all. But most times I do but it's mostly for work.

Courage is not having the strength to go on, it's going on when you don't have the strength. ????

Yes I do. I can't go a day without having to check at least one thing on the internet. Sometimes if I have a lot of homework I try to resist but it's so hard to do and I just quit my homework and go online. Sometimes I go back to that homework but unfortunately sometimes I don't.

I feel the same way. I have been addicted to the internet since I was about 11 or 12 years old. First I started going online because I realized there were hundreds of free games... then I became addicted to forums and chatrooms, and then social websites like Myspace and Facebook... Now I'm totally sucked in; The internet is my main source of entertainment and news. I go online every day.

I pretty much am. It's just because all of my friends are on here though. Being homeschooled means you're isolated from humanity in general. So I really go on the internet for everyone here on Vizzed. Before Vizzed though, I wasn't really addicted to the internet. I just watched LP's and funny videos/pictures. I could go weeks without it. But now, not so much.

I wonder what the character limit on this thing is.

I honestly find I'm drawn a lot more then I used to, I used to only go on a few hours a day but now I basically spend 24/7 online if I'm not sleeping I'm on.

Not obliged, but sort of, yes. I feel like I need to check certain websites in case something spectacular happens. It's not like it's my only source of entertainment, since if I don't have something to do, I get bored in about a couple of hours, and I go do something else.

I go through phases on this one.  Right now I've been going online everyday and yes I feel the urge to click on vizzed, I can't help it I just want to see what is going on here! In the past this has happened before but eventually something in my life will happen and start to take up all of my time and I will find myself drifting away from the "net".
