Discussing the Internet, blogging, and business.

Do you spend plenty of time in front of your computer? Even if you do, this does not have to mean that you are addicted to the Internet. Below is a short list of some of the most common signs of Internet addiction:

-Real life relationships suffer and are replaced by cyber relationships. Of course, there is nothing wrong with chatting with other people online, but personal contact is also important.
-School and work suffer. A person should not neglect his school or work just because his hobby is interesting. There has to be moderation in everything.
-Depression or anger when a person for some reason cannot spend enough time in front of his computer.
-Lack of sleep and staying up late at night. People need at least 8 hours of sleep and they should understand that drinking coffee is not a replacement of having a good night rest.
-Losing track of time while spending time in front of computer.
-Missing important meetings or family events.
-Lack of real life friends.

If one of the above symptoms applies to you, take your time to make sure that you are going to do something about your Internet addiction before it is too late. Of course, if you simply enjoy spending time in front of yuor computer there is nothing wrong with that.
