Nov 16, 2006 -- Are you an Internet addict?

Clark read a story recently about how the psychology profession is researching whether there is a new addiction out there: Internet addiction. According to the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery, you may be an addict if you have a sense of “euphoria” when you’re sitting at the computer or you are neglecting friends and family to surf the Web. Spending too much time on the computer can cause serious physical problems, including damaged eyesight, carpal tunnel syndrome and chronic back and neck problems. It’s a sign of the times that “Crackberry” is going to be a word in the next dictionary publication. Crackberry is the facetious term for a Blackberry, which many working men and women carry and check often. The good news is that you can configure your Blackberry device so it doesn’t control you. You can set time limits when your e-mail shows up and turn it off completely if you want to. So, get off the computer and initiate some real human contact.
