Internet addiction can become a serious problem for many people. Here is a sure test to see if you are an internet addict.

In the spirit of Jeff Foxworthy's "you might be a redneck". You know...

If you've ever mowed your yard and found a car....you might be a redneck!

Well our internet addiction test will use the same premise only with an internet twist. So without further ado, let's take the test.

The Internet Addiction Test

If you know more about the internet than your children:
You might be an internet addict.

If you've ever bought your computer a christmas present: (you know a new monitor, ram, etc.)
You might just be an internet addict.

If you have a "pet name" for your computer:
You might be an internet addict.

If your spouse is jealous of your computer:
You might be an internet addict.

If you can never finish a hot cup of coffee while online.
You might be an internet addict.

If you have more online friends than "real" friends.
You might be an internet addict.

If you go to forums to meet women (or men remember this is Jeff Foxworthy inspired )
You might be an internet addict.

If you've ever conducted a keyword search before writing a forum post. (guilty)
You might just be an internet addict.

If you've ever done a keyword density test on your forum post.
You might just be an internet addict.

If you've ever "wet" yourself online.
You might just be an internet addict.

If you think about the internet more than sex.
You might be an internet addict.

If you've ever taken a date to your website.
You might just be an internet addict.

If you can't remember how to write a check.
You might be an internet addict.

If you can type faster than you can talk.
You might be an internet addict.

If you've ever introduced yourself in public by your "screen name". (guilty)
You might be an internet addict. (hello...I'm Zacman...I mean I'm huh.... )

And last but not least:
If you've ever called 911 when your computer crashed.
You are definitely an internet addict!

This is not an exhaustive test but frankly just a beginning. I welcome all of you to join in with your internet addict test questions.

Internet addiction is a serious problem, but we can all help each other out by admitting our individual quirks that identify us as internet addicts.

I'll add more later, this is just the tip of the iceberg, believe me.

Your bookmarks takes 15 minutes to scroll from top to bottom.

You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you check it again.

You've already visited all the links at Yahoo and you're halfway through Excite.

You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop and check your e-mail on the way back to bed

The last girl you picked up was only a jpeg.

You begin to wonder how on earth your service provider is allowed to call 200 hours per month "unlimited."

Your dream when you are sleeping always beginning with "http://www."

Your idea of fun family time is showing the kids your latest delicious bookmarks.

You tell your family members that you would be able to talk to them a lot more if they would just get on Skype

Your pet has it's own blog.

You mean Im not alone in dreaming that Im online? ROFLMAO.. Seriously.. that was the one I was going to post.. because I do it.

[Nato1978]

Hilarious....You should write a book

I guess I'm guilty of a few plus.

If you get yelled at because you spent more time on the internet
than you did doin' those all important "Honey do's" .....................you might be..................Guilty

If you get your laptop fired up before you make your coffee
so it'll be all ready to go when you get there..............................you might be..................Very Guilty

If it upsets you a little that others have logged into emails and other sites NOT using your login causing
you to remember and enter your logins and passwords @ 4am.........you might be..................Guilty

If you spend more than 15 or 20minutes trying to add more reasons why ..............................Guilty
"You might be addicted to the Internet"

OR If you experience neck, finger, arm and toe cramps simutaniously, headaches, blurred vision, hunger or occasionally cuss out your laptop because you know it can hear you.(guilty) You may have indications of a more serious nature and need to seek immediate medical attention. Even though the use of the Internet has been throughly tested on Geeks, Gurus, lab rats and aliens from another planet where only minor symptoms occured, you should stop using the Internet Immediately before a more serious, incurable condition develops. Please consult a physician or hang up your internet connection and call 911 for immediate assistance.......before its to late!...lol

Wayne,

I've got to edit my bookmarks too, but when will I find the time?

As far as email, I turn my speakers up loud so I here the ding when they hit. LOL (notification of payment received usually)

OH, no, don't let your family members on skype, you'll go crazy man.

I have a hundred or so of the "you might be an internet addict" test questions on file.

The problem is, I've been online so much I can't find them.

Believe me, if I don't, I'll come up with some more.

This is true for me. I can't eat or drink if I'm not yet finish with my work. But lately I changed my routine, I make sure to take a meal first before working.

Here's one:

If the word "traffic" automatically means visitors to a website, and not the congestion on the freeway.

[Zacman]

If when you say "I'm going shopping" you really mean your going to checkout Ebay.

You might be an internet addict.
