Internet addiction...

I started thinking I was only addicted to checking my stats frequently.

But then realized it's much more than that. The whole list of 20+ sites I feel like I need to visit daily. (including this one)

It's true those articles out there.... our brains are wired on little Highs and Lows these days from text messages, facebook, IM , twitter, or whatever else.

I also think it's partly to blame for the recent heroin epidemic... Everybody thinks their a special little superstar on their Facebook or whatever.... and then the highs and lows from 'information' wire the brain almost like a crack addict.....when they don't get those Highs artificially. (txt messages, facebook, long time without sex, etc) They need to substitute with something that'll directly give them their fix. The H epidemic has been growing steadily worse over the last 10 years...mostly during our internet revolution.

Before the internet, our brains weren't wired from these constant highs and lows from information. Now it almost seems like parents are raising their kids to be a e-crack addict. They used to play outside to exert all that built up mental stress....now their mommys and daddys buy them an iPad....and then blame the kid for their reclusiveness for not leaving the house.... yup the parents are to blame why their kids are on anti-depressants. Shouldn't of got them that iPad, 360, and PS3...

70% Americans are on prescriptions... think about it.

Just the thought of going back to the 70's....feels like a vacation.

thoughts, and how messed is ur online addiction ?
