well yes i m addicted to my computer moreover its internet....!!!! A computer is a machine which manipulates data according to a list of instructions. Computers take numerous physical forms. The first devices that resemble modern computers date to the mid-20th century (around 1940 - 1941), although the computer concept and various machines similar to computers existed earlier. Early electronic computers were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers. Modern computers are based on comparatively tiny integrated circuits and are millions to billions of times more capable while occupying a fraction of the space. Today, simple computers may be made small enough to fit into a wrist watch and be powered from a watch battery. Personal computers in various forms are icons of the information age and are what most people think of as "a computer". However, the most common form of computer in use today is by far the embedded computer. Embedded computers are small, simple devices that are often used to control other devices—for example, they may be found in machines ranging from fighter aircraft to industrial robots, digital cameras, and even children's toys. The ability to store and execute lists of instructions called programs makes computers extremely versatile and distinguishes them from calculators. The Church–Turing thesis is a mathematical statement of this versatility: Any computer with a certain minimum capability is, in principle, capable of performing the same tasks that any other computer can perform. Therefore, computers with capability and complexity ranging from that of a personal digital assistant to a supercomputer are all able to perform the same computational tasks given enough time and storage capacity.

It is companion of my routine work. It keeps me on line of work. It helps me to organize my working hours. Computer is basic need of about every department of life. From simple account work to gigantic workshop of industries, every where and at every time you would see the activities and involvement of computer in it. If you want to get up rise in the ways of progress you must catch the finger of computer to go ahead. Every wise person is addicted of computer and I am one of them. [sheenshaukat]

Well, my friends and parents call me a addict but I don't see myself as as an addict at all. It's just that I don't have anything to do at the time I'm sitting at my computer. Sure I can do without my PC, no problem. I haven't touched the thing yesterday, I defragmented all of the drives and now it works like a charm :) So no, I'm not addicted to using the computer. [Poltergeist08]
...oh...thanks a lot....:) [hanreq]
If I said NO, would you believe me? I found this checklist to find out if I'm hooked to this machine. You could probably use it too! SYMPTOMS of COMPUTER ADDICTION: # A demonstrated "loss of control" when trying to stop or limit the amount of time on the computer. (Breaking promises to self or others. Promising to quit or cut down and not being able to do so) # Being dishonest or minimizing the extent of the time you stay on the computer, or covering up or being dishonest about what activities you participate in when on the computer. # Negative consequences experienced by the computer user or his/her friends or family as a direct result of time or activities spent on the computer. # Participation in high risk or normally unacceptable behaviors when using the computer. Compromising your morals and values based on the opportunity to remain anonymous and protected on the computer. (a good test for this is to ask yourself if your spouse, partner or family would approve of what you were doing on the computer) # An overdeveloped sense of importance for the computer in ones life. Defending your right to use the computer as much as desired, regardless of the fact that people in your life are feeling left out and neglected. (denial of the problem and justification; not being able to hear or feel what the other people are saying regarding your computer behavior) # Mixed feelings of euphoria (a "rush"), combined with feelings of guilt brought on by either the inordinate amount of time spent on the computer or the abnormal behavior acted out while using the computer. # Feelings of depression or anxiety when something or someone shortens your time or interrupts your plans to use the computer. # Preoccupation with the computer and computer activities when you are not using the computer (thinking about the computer and its activities when doing something else; i.e. having a family dinner, working on project deadline etc.) # Finding yourself using the computer at times when you are feeling uncomfortable, irritated, or sad about something happening in your life. ( feeling uncomfortable in your relationship, so you will self medicate and "hide out" on the computer) Using time on the computer to become externally focused outside yourself as a way to avoid facing what is happening in your life, and avoiding feeling the appropriate feelings inside yourself. (self medicating) # Experiencing financial concerns or problems in your life as a result of money being spent on computer hardware, computer on-line charges, or any other costs associated with computers. (Spending money on computer related items which should have been allocated to other normal living expenses) If you said yes to one question you may have a problem with computer addiction. If you said yes to two questions, there is a good chance you do have a problem with computer addiction. If you answered yes to three or more, you are demonstrating a pattern of behavior which would suggest that you are addicted to your computer and/or the activities on it. Aaarrghhhh!! Where is the nearest Computer Anonymous???? drool [moolahmagnet]
