According to this
article, there are 8 factors to look for in internet addiction. They are as follows:
1. Lying about how much time is spent online.
2. General decrease of physical activity and social life.
3. Neglecting obligations at home, work, or school to spend time online.
4. Spending too much money on computer equipment or Internet activities.
5. Feeling a constant desire to be online when they're away from the computer.
6. Going online to escape real world problems.
7. Disregarding the emotional or physical consequences of being in front of a computer all day.
8. Denial of the problem.
I don't think I meet any of these criterias except possible #2. However, I am trying to expand my real life a bit more. Either that, or I am severely mired in #8.
I can quit anytime! Really!
