Provided at least some of your computer use is at work, you probably don't have to worry. If however you feel you may be traveling too much in cyberspace, now would be a good time to set some limits. Join an exercise program that gives you a similar feeling of being in control.

I can only do that when IT is nice ... but most IT suck big time

Are You Addicted To Your Computer?

Call them addicts, or call them compulsive users. But whatever the label, psychologists have no doubt that growing numbers of Web surfers are developing unhealthy dependencies on Internet use. "Whether it's a true addiction, or whether it's a symptom of other compulsive behaviors, like gambling, people are losing control," says Maressa Hecht Orzack, a Harvard University Medical School psychologist who runs a clinic that specializes in treating this problem at McLean Hospital. "It's an emerging disorder, suffered by people who find the virtual reality on computer screens more attractive than everyday reality."

Woo Hoo! I'm not an Addict

Yeap I'm bored!!!

You answered yes to 7 questions. OK, so you do sometimes get sidetracked when you start surfing the Web. But that doesn't make you an addict ... just more like the rest of us. Provided at least some of your computer use is at work, you probably don't have to worry. If however you feel you may be traveling too much in cyberspace, now would be a good time to set some limits. Dr. Orzack suggests promising yourself you'll only play solitaire for a specific time before going to call someone on the phone. Or join an exercise program that gives you a similar feeling of being in control.
