Well I easily spend 62+ hours a week on the net. But then my computer is in the living room so I figure I spend as much time with my family (if not more) than people who sit in front of the tv. Or people who have work out of the house and then a hobby out of the house like gardening or fishing or jogging or a sports fanatic. It can be done wrong of course but then so can anything else.

Psychologists have a number of theories on the types of personalities drawn to living on the internet, and all agree on one unifying factor,...an inability to have a satisfying and fulfilling REAL life. This is truly a sickness and there are perhaps millions of people who are slipping from a real life into a false reality.

Well we will just have to wait and see what the virtual psychologists say about THAT now wont we?
