Awak sakit?

Dua tiga menjak ni aku nak menulis je kejenye. Entah. Dah addicted kot. Dulu yelah kita panggil hobi. Sekarang frasa baru penyakit dunia virtual yang rata-rata dialami penduduk dunia. Internet addiction. Lebih-lebih lagi Malaysia dah termasuk dalam salah satu daripada ranking Top 5 negara-negara di Asia yang mempunyai penduduk celik IT dan kadar penggunaan tertinggi rangkaian jalur lebar. Kalau tak buka komputer dalam sehari rasa nak mati. Sampaikan mak panggil makan pun tak dengar sebab telinga dah sumbat headphone atau tengah syok chatting dengan member kat hujung dunia sana.

Tahukah korang yang internet addiction ni adalah satu penyakit mental??
Ha? Aku gila?
Em, sekarang masing-masing wat2 tak mengaku la yang korang sebenarnye dah addicted ngan internet.
Betul la! Aku cuma check kalau-kalau ada berita terbaru member2 aku. Dah check tutup la..
Ye lah tu. JOm check sama ada korang addicted ke tak..

1. Preoccupation with the Internet: User often thinks about the Internet while he or she is offline.
2. Loss of control: Addicted users feel unable or unwilling to get up from the computer and walk away. They sit down to check e-mail or look up a bit of information, and end up staying online for hours.
3. Inexplicable sadness or moodiness when not online: Dependency on any substance often causes mood-altering side effects when the addicted user is separated from the substance on which he or she depends.
4. Distraction (Using the Internet as an anti-depressant): One common symptom of many Internet addicts is the compulsion to cheer one's self up by surfing the Web.
   
5. Dishonesty in regard to Internet use: Addicts may end up lying to employers or family members about the amount of time they spend online, or find other ways to conceal the depth of their involvement with the Internet.
6. Loss of boundaries or inhibitions: While this often pertains to romantic or sexual boundaries, such as sharing sexual fantasies online or participating in cyber sex, inhibitions can also be financial or social. Online gambling sites can cause addicts to blow more money than they would in a real-life casino because users never actually see their money won or lost, so it is easier to believe the money is not real. Chat rooms can incite users to reveal secrets they would not reveal in face-to-face or phone conversations because of the same separation from reality. Also, addicted users are much more likely to commit crimes while online (e.g., 'hacking') than non-addicts.
7. Creation of virtual intimate relationships with other Internet users: Web-based relationships often cause those involved to spend excessive amounts of time online, attempting to make connections and date around the Net.
8. Loss of a significant relationship due to Internet use: When users spend too much time on the Web, they often neglect their personal relationships. Over time, such relationships may fail as partners simply refuse to be treated badly and break off from relations with the addicted individual.

Ait, bukan main lagi berkerut-kerut muka sebab tengah compare diri korang dengan simptom2 kat atas nih. Hehehe...
