NOTE FROM KIM:

A growing number of conscripts have to be
dismissed from Finland’s armed forces every year
due to an Internet addiction that makes them
unsuited for service.

The Top 8 Signs You’re
Addicted to the Internet (Part II)

8> Internet porn withdrawal gives you the shakes — over your whole body, not just your right hand.

7> Whenever you go off-line your ISP’s tech support department calls YOU to see what the problem is.

6> Your white t-shirts have better tans than you.

5> It takes you three hours to get to and from work because you follow the route that gives you the best WiFi coverage.

4> You pay your Yahoo Visa balance with your eBay Visa card.

3> You can’t find the “Close Window” icon on the face of the gunnery sergeant screaming at you.

2> You don’t care if your DNS server goes down because you know the IP address of every site on the Web.

and the Number 1 Sign You’re Addicted to the Internet…

1> You call it an “intimate personal gathering.” Your family calls it a “chat room.”
