US full of Internet addicts.

anandk · 18-10-2006, 10:24 PM

The United States could be rife with Internet addicts as clinically ill as alcoholics, an unprecedented study released suggested...

...the typical Internet addict was a single, college-educated, white male in his 30s, who spends approximately 30 hours a week on non-essential computer use.

so how much time do u spend on the net every week ? if its more than 30, well u could be addicted acc to this study.

hemant_mathur · 18-10-2006, 10:51 PM

~Phenom~ · 18-10-2006, 11:15 PM

led_shankar · 18-10-2006, 11:22 PM

(6 hrs a day X 5 working days) + (10 hrs a day X 2 weekends) = 30 + 20 = 50

OMG I am addicted

Seriously, I am..... I need to do something.

Chirag · 18-10-2006, 11:42 PM

Me too addicted.

king007 · 18-10-2006, 11:52 PM

o man seriously, i am also a addict, I dont like to be called an addict...

aakash_mishra · 18-10-2006, 11:54 PM

Well I am also addicted

6 hrs working days and 10-12 hrs on Sunday=36+10=46 hrs per week

xenkatesh · 19-10-2006, 12:01 AM

week days 3 hr/ day and weekend 12 hr/day = 39hrs OMG!! but i love too.. so it doesnt matter if its twice the curretn usage..

JGuru · 19-10-2006, 12:20 AM

It's not US that tops the list of most addicted Country!! It's actually South Korea!!
There are more serious online Game-addicts in South Korea than anywhere else
in the world. Some of the these guys can't live without Internet even for a single day!!
No wonder that parents of these kids are worried & consulting psychiatrists so that steps
can be taken to minimize the Net-addiction & also make them concentrate more on their studies.
Even Japan has got more technology addicts than U.S.

sabret00the · 19-10-2006, 01:25 AM

Weekdays=(9and1/2 hours * 5 days) + Weekends=(4 hours * 2 days)=OMG I'am addicted tooooooo.

well I dont really mind!!!

mediator · 19-10-2006, 02:58 AM

I guess its India that tops the list because it produces large numbers of IT professionals and is known for that.
Neways I'm insomniac and hardly get to sleep 4 hrs and spend almost 6 hrs a day on PC. SO 6*7 => 42 + a few extra hrs on sunday

, I'm ruined!!
