Under Grohol's model . . . are you a stage I, II or III user here at JWN?
You can even take the "quiz" on net addiction at the bottom.

It only becomes a problem if it takes over your whole life, and you begin to neglect your responsibilities. What one does to entertain oneself is one's own business.

"You are an average on-line user.
I wonder what "average" use is these days... given how much one uses the Internet these days for everything from email to paying bills to calendaring, sending e-vites, making appointments, watching movies, etc. I do so much on the computer, even for work. The Internet isn't all "fun and games", unfortunately.
You may surf the Web a bit too long at times
Ya think? I sometimes wanna throw my laptop in the drink!
but you have control over your usage."
Well, that's a relief! Although, while my social participation may soon decrease, my work usage will certainly increase, so...
Thankfully, I live in an area where inclement weather doesn't keep one in the house 24/7. Couldn't deal with that, I don't think.
Peace!
SA, on her own... just "playing along"...

I am an average on-line user. Whew! I thought I was going to be worse than that or something. I certainly get guilted over my usage enough... eye-rolls at times as well. Though to be honest, all of that is more over my choice of sites (this one) than the time I spend on that site.
Peace,
Tammy

What category did you fall into sizemik...
(37) - You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.
I feel I've recently progressed to a stage III on Grohol's model.
