    If you constantly use the internet to socialise then it is a problem. One it is physically bad for you because you can damage your eyes and also get really unfit (possibly cause blood clots for sitting so long) and two it is socially bad for you because you lose the art of conversation which involves not just conveying a point but body language and gestures which the internet cannot pick up fully (even Skype is limited in this way due to poor picture quality most times). Plus you are braver if you can confront someone about a problem in person. Too many people are using the internet or cell phones to break up with someone or tell some bad news. Try the difference sometime.....

    Yes I am addicted, its mostly Yahoo! Answers, Cheezburger sites (Memebase, FAIL Blog, etc.), YouTube, and most of all, aimless internet browsing. I also use Facebook and Windows Live, but not that much, I don't find it that appealing.
