Is anyone addicted to computer use? It seems that I spend hours and hours once
I get started on one. I have only been into computers since last year.

Computer addiction depends on the need to use it. If u use it productively at work, it pays for you, then it is not an addiction. However, if you spend hours together on a computer just doing nothing productive, then it is an addiction.

I spend a great deal of time on my personal computer as well as I am a Sr. support analyst, so I am on a computer at work. I would not think I am addicted however because when I am on my personal PC's I have a purpose. I take online classes, Ido research, I test web sites and various other productive things. So if you spend a lot of time on the PC, ask yourself why, but don't call it an addiction. I do know that if I get into something time does pass very quickly.

If you go into withdrawal when your PC is down, you might have a problem. On the other hand, as long as it's not taking away from work,sleep, or the family, you're OK. If you turn off the light to go to bed and you notice the room is bright, you've been at it too long..
