Addicted to Technology?

[criso8]

Well I wouldn't go into withdrawl if it was taken away from me so no, I don't think I am addicted. I actually enjoy being away from the internet sometimes.

I think addicted is a bit too specific of a word and you may be meaning it in a less harsh way than I perceive it. Although many of us really enjoy computers to be addicted in my opinion is to be into something to a point where it affects your life negatively. I don't think learning about PCs really is detrimental at all.

Are you addicted to anything tech related? I guess i'm addicted to tech video's.

 

Do you enjoy time away from technology? Yes. The outside world is nice. A friend of a friend of mine told me once.

 

Do you think being addicted to tech is unhealthy? That question can mean a few things. Being addicted to using technology like using a computer all day or being obsessed about tech and having nothing else in your life is obviously a unhealthy lifestyle but being addicted to seeing new tech and being up to date on whats new and hot in the tech world is imo a good hobby to have.

I didn't go on a trip to Europe like my bro and dad did since I can't stand being away from my computer. I also spend an avrage of about 12-14 hours a day using technology. It's like 2:30am right now, so yeah I'm rather certian I'm addicted to technology....

I am not addicted, I can give up anytime I want, I can stop now if I want.  I just don't want to....    :blink:

I like being away from anything computer related for about 5 days in 6 months. It just feels so relaxing, though if I did that every month it would feel unbearable I think.

I work all day on computers, I come home and muck around on my own computers

At home and at work I sneak in some time for LTT, Engadget and Gizmodo... 

I download entire YouTube tech channels so I can watch them on my commute to and from work.

 

Yeah... I'm quite dependent on tech...
