Are you Addicted to the Internet?

by RACHEL THOMASON

Hey you! Are you addicted to the Internet? Take Whim's Internet Addiction test to find out.

Do any of the following apply to you?

  • You see something funny and scream, "LOL, LOL."
  • You buy a laptop and a cell phone so you can have ICQ in your car.
  • You sign off and your screen says you were on for 3 days and 45 minutes.
  • You placed the refrigerator beside your computer.
  • Tech support calls YOU for help.
  • You beg your friends to get an account so you can "hang out."
  • You get a second phone line just to call out for emergencies.
  • You purchase a vanity car license plate with your screen name on it.
  • You say "he he he he" or "heh heh heh" instead of laughing.
  • You talk on the phone with the same person you are sending an instant message to.
  • You start to experience "withdrawal" after not being online for a while.
  • You sit on ICQ for six hours for that certain 'special person' to sign on.
  • .....You end your sentences with.....three or more periods.......
  • You're on the phone and say BRB.
  • Your boss recommends a drug test for the blood shot eyes.
  • You need to be pried from your computer by the Jaws-of-life.
Do you:
  • Have twitches of the hand when you walk by your terminal?
  • Check e-mail more than five times a day?
  • Spend more time chatting than eating or sleeping?
  • Surf aimlessly with no direction, if only to be online?
  • Log on before important personal habits, such as meal?
  • preparation, hygiene or bodily functions?
  • Have red, swollen eyes that hang halfway out of your head?
  • Constantly gripe about your Carpal Tunnel syndrome?
  • See smoke arising from your computer or WebTV box?
  • All of the above?
