[thefunkyvibe]

wow days go alot faster with the computer WHATS HAPPENING TO ME ? :O

[Verification11]

this is bullshit!

[jigilowman]

what about tv addiction

[Zero5twelve]

this is a serious problem of many people, there has to be a limit in the usage of the internet, chatting programs are very dangerous, Im talking cos I used to use that shit a lot and thanks god, IM OUT OF IT!

[CliveGains80s]

so they want to use hardcore psychiatric treatment for this.

[lokalllize]

this is not real life fuck I think I may be using the internet too much

[SStrongIsNeverWrong]

I'm on the internet. . . searching for videos about internet addiction.

Fuck

[Bassyswing1]

I let this disorder and pornography addiction ruin my teens. It's not a joke.

[PillyAndGirl]

I haven't slept in days...

[FuIIOfFaiI]

I suppose you could say I'm addicted to the Internet, but that's just more because I don't like socializing much IRL. Been like that since I was a kid. Even online, I don't use Instant Messages or try to befriend anybody, I just leave random comments on youtube. If it weren't the Internet, I'd be playing games, or watching TV. I may have a disorder, but it's not due to the Internet specifically.

[RontoTheDog]

I know it is a terrible thing, but I am also addicted to the internet, spending 10-20 hours a day in front of my computer. :(

I wake up, and get online until I need to work... work for up to 8 hours, then come home and get right back on the computer. On my days off I tend to sleep less. I wake up early, get online, and before I know it, it's already 2AM the next day...

[ZachariasClub]

Thumbs up if you're watching this online.

[imita01]

Damn... internet addiction.. LOL... get a passport people.. Go travel or something... Hell smoke a fucking joint if you have to... Internet addiction? What is wrong with the human race?...

[nankerphelge718]

@imita01 are you gay or something?

[imita01]

@nankerphelge718.... no. but if you are, i don't care.

[drastaify]

i dont think im addicted but once or twice a week i will go on the computer in the morning and stay on it all day and i dont feel like doing anything else. i wont even eat or drink

[gj7l1O0ij49gq1l00O0l]

My name is @Hammerhead547, but I am at work right now so I had to sign in on a coworker's account. I think I'm addicted, too.

I hear voices when i start to fall asleep I write romantic letters to Casey anthony, and i dont know why others think shes guilty.

I dont have any real life friends. I eat too many cheetos and i dont shave or bathe regularly.

Can you help me? Other people on this page, can you help me? come to my channel and help me. @Hammerhead547 @Hammerhead547

[Modafuckaz]

[samann95014]

Help! I browse 8+hrs daily. I'm an Internet Addict in addiction to THC.

[888hens]

@samann95014 i surf 2-6 hours and i am in 8th grade

[puppytrails2121]

@samann95014 you and me both brother/sister!

[knoxrox167]

@airgearbleachfan where did i ever mention evolution?and where did i ever say that god is real? i've been reading your comments on this and ive sent some of them to my friends they're so mind-numbingly stupid...you seem extremely, extremely desperate to put everyone beneath you, probably just as an attempt to comfort yourself and your extremely low self-esteem. i'm done commenting on this video.

[LadyRuin2012]

An addiction is something you, for lack of a better term, can't live without. Spending a lot of time doing something doesn't make it an addiction. An addiction to something like this is not the same as an addiction to something physically habit forming like death sticks.

[toomanyblackpeople]

How is it a disorder, or addiction? So if I choose to get on a lot it's a disorder? Hm...

[lepeanut]

haha i love how he ended the video saying it's ok to spend all your time on NYPost. :D

[HerrSpieldose]

I have a "Research paper/homework-onset internet use disorder" that hits me every time I put hours aside to study for classes and spend all but the last hour on YT and facebook just because I am still getting A's and waiting until the end works well enough for me...

[whitedarknessnight66]

the help website is on the internet ...... ummmm

[UTubeVideoBuzz]

Talk about TV Trash and leave us Computer Users THE FUCK ALONE

[greysfanhp]

@UTubeVideoBuzz Totally agree XD

[SanguineBullet667]

you might as well call it an information addiction. .... idiots

[brimarie1981]

I am addiacted to the internet in that I would rather be on my computer most the time especially facebook lol games and well I am limiting my time on it. Life needs to be about balancing as said.

[MrSCPhoenix]

I'm just glad to see in the comments here that people realise how stupid this idea of internet addiction is...

[Makoi44]

Disorder my ass, they use that shit as an excuse :\

[KMSimmons88]

I'm watching this on the internet.

[vonKyle777]

sometimes i don't sleep because of surfing esp on youtube esp when i first had my dsl. I used the web to escape the things that i don't want to do. Yeah, this prolong use of hte internet could lead to addiction

[ambrose79]

the mouse is my needle

[TheOpenminded12460]

@ambrose79 @TheOpenMinded12460 So the mouse has nicotine in it and has smoke coming out and a little bit of fire? AAAAAAAA!

[shark12323ze]

i totally agree with the video i have a 17 year old that is an addict on the internet and i try my best for him to not be on and if he is on he is on for like almost a whole day ....now he is lessn due to the fact i take my modem away from the computer and that way he isnt playing online games all day long and he get to go out and get the fresh air he needs and to hang with friend and communicate with them and as well sped time with the family

[warrenchikchik]

Anyone here want to buy my level 57 sword for 50,000 gold? PM me warcraft...

[CrisLupindo]

This is an addiction like anything else, so when some people leave comments saying GET A LIFE! you wont say that to junkies and alchoolics...this is a real disorder...I know that cuz I have the conscience that i have it...I spend btween 6-7 hours in Second Life, + the hours that im only surfing...So shut up if u dont know hwat u r talking about

[yole1eloy]

[xfighter47]

@yole1eloy dude same as me, i stay up all day to use the computer,it's true i dont play games, i watch videos chat with people, im 18 and if i don't use the computer i get bored but it ruins my social life like i skip school and spend less time with friend and family, i really wanna stop but i can't help it.

[mexicanskip]

Okay, all the people who comment on an internet addiction video and says something like, " THIS IS BULLSHIT"...

You need help. lol.

[Thesaint411]

get a life, you only have one, let them use it how they want shit leave us addicts alone, TIME is what we make of it not what you think shut up leave us alone

[ccfc500]

yep im addicted, so what , its not a disorder u assholes, what drugs are you going to push 4 it anyway?

[knoxrox167]

i bet all of the people flaming this video are addicted to the internet and have little or no firends.

[yole1eloy]

I'm on 18-20 hours and I have approximately 471 friends to hang out with in my city witch btw is very small and I have approximately 925 friends world wide and i like all my friends very mush its cool having a lot of friends but it suck's you can't hang out with all of them

also I'm not saying like Myspace fiends i have Twitter, Myspace, and Facebook but it's only for some of my friends

[xfighter47]

@knoxrox167 fyi i admit im addicted to the internet but i have lots of friend and social life so shut the fuck up you flaming homo i bet you have no friends why dont you get a life fucktard

[knoxrox167]

@xfighter47

jesus christ, i made that comment over a year ago. and dont insult others so much without reason, it exposes you for the dick you are.

[08dressageGal]

well the only thing I have to say is that in the news papper a few months or weeks ago it was talking about how spending time on the computer looking at the screen ruins your eye sight to a point. Something like that...but like all things, everything in moderation.

[ojewel]

Everything is biological so tired of hearing that. blah,blah, blah.

But, yes, I am on for quite a few hours and Lovin' every minute of it!

[Srhandel]

Whose idea was it to come up with a youtube site for the NY Post....Rupert Murdoch has to have his influence all over the world, he's the one who is compulsive if you ask me. I haven't seen any other newspapers with a youtube site on here yet.

[kakashiUzamaki]

losing stuff to blame failure here. This is getting out of hand and researchers need to be more useful

[cinaimater]

what the hell its not like drugs there so stupid its an addiction yeah i know that but its not a disadvantage internet is a place to learn stuff it dosent make you wanna kill ppl gosh nypost ppl are idiots

[pot789]

the is bullcrap!!

[Taken0by0Force]

Sure, I spend around 3-4 hours a day on the internet, but it's not because I'm compulsive and I feel like I need to, it's normally working, reading the news, updating my Facebook, or talking to friends on MSN that live somewhere else.

I also agree with some others on the topic of keeping yourself entertained. Only certain things on TV keep me entertained nowadays, and they're rarely on anymore. When I'm eating lunch, I do enjoy watching Youtube videos, but as I said before, not obsessively.

[fujyoshi]

3 - 4 hours thats nothing try 16 - 18 hours

[Sephiroth1994]

Another fucking news post run by idiots who don't know a damn thing about pop culture. They always think they know everything, making stories about teh intarwebz, the DS, maplestory, WoW, and browsing online. They don't even know shit about any of this, they jsut go on wikipedia, find out about it, then cry about it all over the news.

They're all idiots and don't know anything even though they pretend like they've studied it since they were 2. Pisses me off

[MuslimahByChoice]

let me hurry up and leave this comment because as we speak my 4 year old is hanging from the ceiling fan :)

but hey, she has never painted the C/D's with jelly so i guess i'm not addicted.... yet!

[shinesinpines]

okay lets see, of the 22 hours i'm awake in a day, I spend 11 on the internet.

[ericaXxXproductions]

This is really stupid. It's not that people are addicted. We're just a bunch of kids who are easily bored, so we rely on the internet for entertainment!

[ChancellorChan]

So they post this on youtube? NY Post=retarded

[AnythingWestOLincoln]

Why are they comparing it to drugs, it doesnt hurt anyone. And maybe some people have hobbies who cares what other people do.

[glockmaniac]

There are plenty of other hobbies not mentioned here that are far off worse. Interesting idea for a video, but in the end it doesn't achieve anything notable nor does this help people who have this so called "disorder."

[AustinCatFilms]

im addicted.

[hiphop4soul]

1star for the ending

[MugglecastHappy]

I am perfectly fine being addicted to the internet.

[Cassaraa3x3]

soo true

[Distance144]

That is stupid.

[megagamer777]

so instead of embracing the future, and would lower the economy. The ending is retarded, your not helping anything or one

[minipopo1234]

wtf they better not

[radrox895]

if they ban the internet they are fucked... not only will I kill them but all of america will

[icantalktosnakes]

omg, I would kill them. I'm like SUPER addicted to the internet..

[squid262]

I give you 1 star because the end.

[wakabala]

I don't agree nor disagree.

its HOW you use the internet, not internet itself.

[roosterflu77]

That's damn true.

[SymbaDAVE]

ur right!
