Are You a Web Junkie?
I love the Internet. Don't you? Yes, a number of folks deeply admire the Internet. Some even "overuse" it, which leads me to write this article. Today you will find out whether or not you have a new name, as an Internet user. Are you a World Wide Web junkie? Let's find out!10. You spend over 2 hours chatting.
Online chatting used to be a widely popular online activity. In fact, before online dating became famous that's how online folks used to meet other people.

9. You spend over 2 hours on forum sites.

6. You update your status at least 3 times per week on social networking sites.
Wait, how often does your mood change?!
5. You upload media (video, photo, music) daily to the web.
You actually find material to upload to youtube, flickr, ... on a daily basis??!!
4. You spend over 2 hours watching videos on sites such as youtube, metacafe, etc.
Boy does time fly fast when you are watching those funny, crazy videos ... and the other types of videos, too?
3. You spend over 4 hours online per day for non-work related activities.
I get it. You have so many sites to log in to, so many media to upload to the web, so many people to catch up with, so many posts to reply to, so many emails to read, ...
