Yes.
Nah. If I've got something nice on (like a walk in the country), I couldn't care less about the web.
Thanks a lot for quoting this headline straight out of the Daily Mail.
Nah, I don't think I have an addiction. I could quite easily turn off the interwebs right now and go without it for a couple of weeks. I only really use it for news, TSR, facebook and 'how to do x'.

I don't like porn. It just doesn't satisfy me; the whole concept just seems weird to me :dontknow:
the internet needs me
Not sure what the definition of addiction to the internet is in this context, but to be honest I'm tired of dated technophobia. Our generation is addicted to coffee and technology, boohoo, theirs was addicted to wars fast food and cigarettes. I turn my phone off at meals and rarely spend a day without most of it being out of the house. So when I feel judgy OaP eyes on me for whatsapping on the bus I just get a bit miffed and wonder if they'd prefer people addicted to more traditional things instead.
Thinking about this, I'm surprised that the number isn't higher than 6% :beard:

Are you male?
I am addicted to the internet, the same way I'm addicted to music.

Haha, must have just been a coincidence then, sorry about that! The exact title was in the DM on Saturday. I disagree with 6%, surely it's much higher!
