I spend, hm... on school days, including at school, anywhere from 5-6 hours on the computer.

But that doctor is so full of it I was laughing out loud, really. You never, ever do "one thing" on a computer, that's what computers were designed to do (multiple things). I scored a 42 on the Internet test, so I'm not really going to heed this crazy psych doctor's words.

i agree with spike on this one... besides, a lot of us do work that requires spending a great deal of time on the computer, even if it is doing just one thing. you're still not really doing *one* thing usually though, even if you're working on one task, it can still involve doing multiple things at once. i got a 28, i think (i took that test about two hours ago).
As I was going down the stair, I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today; I wish I wish he'd go away.

I got a 39 on the addiction test.

Come to think of it, I think I am a little less addicted to the computer than I used to be. I become more addicted to video games these days.

I got a 39, so I'm not as bad as I thought. actually, now that I think about it, I have to do homework right now instead of playing on the internet, and I'm not angry that I have to get off the internet... so I guess the test is true. I'm average (for once)!

I'm usually online for more than three hours a day but not all at once. I will usually do something online then do something that doesn't involve a computer. I'm usually out with friends anyways, computer time is becoming less and less and I could care less=P.

I guess you could say I'm an occaissional addict.
