Computer Addiction or Just Modern Life?

Ant writes to tell us that ABC News has an interesting look at computer addiction and what it might take to be considered addicted in today's society. From the article: "Video games and the Internet have been subject to suspicion since the computer became a household fixture. One complaint: People get sucked into spending enormous amounts of time on the computer, to the detriment of other parts of their life. But are they addicted? The answer depends on what you mean by 'addicted.' Most experts say computers are not addictive in the same sense that drugs are, but they could be on the same level as gambling."

Nothing wrong

As someone said earlier, in some other place and in some other year, it's not because something is addicting that it's bad (example : sex!).

I may be "addicted" to computing, but it's not destroying me, so it's fine.

As I said, just like sex!
