Addicted???

[HighSoci]

Is there such a term for someone who is addicted to the internet? And how about someone who is addicted to newsgroups? Using members' names doesn't count. Sorry all you smart @sses out there. :P

Type "internet addiction" into Google and you'll get myriad hits. It's referred to as "internet addiction", "netaddiction" or "patholigical internet use" and that's just in the first three hits.

I don't know, but this (http://www.stvlive.com/oddities/quizme/internetaddict/quiz.php) will tell you if you are. By the way, I am 37% addicted, according to that quiz:

You've started to learn that there is more to the internet than AOL. You've recovered from that email virus that wiped your hard drive and are thinking of getting DSL. You still tend to forward too many jokes and inspirational thoughts via email to your entire address book.
