Notebook: Internet Addiction (CBS News)

[XXxExperitmentalxXx]

ugh overreacting

[deadcelloo]

50 hours a week? LOL. I have 220 hours played in the past 2 weeks already for steam.

Bitch get on my level with yo farmcraftin' ass.

[NYdrone]

So glad this airhead is off the air. Good riddance.

[groam6666]

Oh, god forbid people experience euphoria on the internet lol. What a load of crap. This is just a bunch of old timers shaking their fist at technology and blaming their lack of parenting skills on the internet.

[MikoyCreator]

WHO CARES!! At least internet life isn't as bad as real life. On the internet shy people can be open then in real life where they almost die of embarrasement!!

[drunkenburritto]

Wait so... they say that internet addiction is terrible, then they turn around and make a segment on how: if you play enough games, you could become an "e-athlete" and make a lot of money...

[cokefan3]

loloolololololll, i drowned 2 years ago D: I'm getting less sleep, worse grades, and lie more often.

Wow i feel horrible now :C Time to click on a related video :D

[DonReedProductions]

I have no more time for TV now due to the Internet.

[DonReedProductions]

I have no more time for TV now that my wife and I spend 8 to 12 hours per day in the Internet.

[MrJessesaur]

"We need to make the internet illegal so people won't be addicted!" "No! I have to update my Facebook!" "Good point."

[kyle1058]

[xstrifex123]

[Mohagrus]

[medozzza]

[jackson4cool]

is general browsing an addiction?

[chrischimera]

Everything is relying on computers, internet, etc. I mean I use it but I dont become antisocial with my family and friends theirs way more important things out there like a job but some people do take it overboard I guess.

[MorrisBrown94]

Soon as she said "DAD" I was like (Porn) Lmao

[sjm8890]

a mom who spends 50 hours a week on the internet is nothing compared to me

[sNNJOSH]

lol they must of been short on real problems to talk about at the time..

[xdeviltrunksx]

Everyone at CBS is either dumb, or just wants to scare mainstream America?

Kids have always been lying, droppping out of sports, not getting enough sleep, and not hanging out with friends. These things are nothing new, it's called adolescence. There hasn't always been an Internet though, they used to blame these things on drugs when I was growing up.

It seems like CBS is just trying to campaign for "Internet2.0" with all these anti-Internet stories.

[bogart266]

You're right and also it's all about how to get the tax, this time the internet as well as soda drinks, etc. In the eyes of liberal majority media popular things that people should be taxed. Also they are scared shitless that the way how news is covered is changing from watching the news on TV to internet either from websites, or to blogging, twittering, or any other form of social media simply because it's the fastest way to get up-to-date now days. The times are changing.

[LaurenFromMI]

Everybody is wasting their lives staring at a screen...LOL.

[Yamasonic]

me too!

[girlygirl8937]

yeah thats me!

[7Row7enn7]

[cbss5000]

Yeah , sure...I'm not addicted to the internet! No way!

Hey, btw, has anyone seen the youtube video on advanced avocado breeding techniques?

I've been looking and searching for three days without sleep...I absolutely MUST see this!

[weeweemonsieur]

[jono324]

[ellenruppart]

it's true folks

[calihan54]

yesterday I came home and found my friend passed out with a usb cord wrapped around his arm! I think he is addicted, what do I do!?

[usurper17]

In short: The Internet is too fun for some people.

[iamgod1232312312]

its true but i always just want too muff punch Katie Couric with a sludge hammer for being such a fake kunt.

[d1zer]

last week i was rushed to the hospital because of bandwidth overdose!

[1cylynt1]

22/f/single/cam! ne1 want to see? y

[junkradio]

I'm a social retard, my only friend is the internet.

[iUzair]

lol I sometimes feel the same!

[seaoats9]

@junkradio YESSS

[curdtkobain]

<3 WoW <3

[CanAm2002]

Everyone is addicted(obsessed) with something! If they weren't, according to these numbers, 90% of Americans would be vegetables. I'd prefer to be addicted to computers over living in a cave with nothing to do but hunt and sleep, thank you. Grow the hell up and face the winds of change. We are moving forward, and the future looks very bright, as well as transparent.

[Eudokime]

Can't you conceive a fulfilled human life without addiction ? Interesting..

[fantasywriter]

Internet addiction nearly killed me. It made me depressed and I tried to end my life. Since getting better, I've met a lot of people that suffer or have suffered from it. It is extremely real and extremely dangerous.

[nikiwonoto]

yeah, i'm one of these people.

damn.

[knoxrox167]

denial...the first step of an addiction.

id prefer to have a fulfilled life with being able to interact with other people and live a full life than sit in my room all day living a fake life on the internet.

addiction of anything doesnt make life worth living. it does the exact opposite.

[urbanr0cker]

Haha....wow...and they put this on the web...

Well...hey "teh intraweb" is my only friend.

[TheDailyBackground]

What about addiction to YouTube?

[russellkurenburg]

This a bad thing?

[ItamiBukoto]

Without my internet addiction, I wouldn't have watched your clip. What are you complaining about?

[ieatwiteoutforfun]

first comment!

[shoestringconcerts]

IM NOT ADDICTED!

[cubia2011]

is the addiction more mentally involved?

because if a kid is like spended more than 5hrs at a time on the computer, then somethings wrong with the children. the addiction for a kid should be blamed on the parents no?

[Collegegirl83]

when u arent allowed to leave ur house for some time and the tv is distracting, the net is all u have

[fluffyfuzzbox]

click

[sinistrorse]

All the things she talks about are things people get addicted to offline too... so what is she trying to prove?

[raven1234]

lol, I am addicted to youtube.

[Rekidk]

Oh, the irony...

Between ARGs, message boards, and YouTube--all things that involve heavy social interaction--I spend several (usually about two) hours a day on the internet. However, I also stay involved in a rigorous curriculum at school, play tennis, participate in band, and do other extra-currics.

I think the appeal of the Web lies in the fact that it allows us to be CONNECTED to others. After all, nothing is more interesting to people than other people.

[nellywwe]

it is SO True!
