When Surfing Becomes More Than Just a Hobby…
There are more jobs which require humans to work with computers today than there has ever been. Additionally, there are more people with computers in their homes than ever before. So, what does this translate to? A lot more Internet surfing for starters! But are we “surfing the Internet” too much? When does it cross over from just being a hobby into being more of an obsession?
“Just one more page…I’ve got to find this site to show you something..” insists my boyfriend, who is more than eager to show me…well, something fascinating that he saw on the Internet. At one point, we had to have a discussion about how the Internet, not the computer, was beginning to interfere with our relationship. Now, we have a deal where neither one of us will use the Internet or even go near the computer while we are in each other’s company. Now, there are, of course, exceptions to this rule. For example, if we need to look up directions to something or if he has to do work for school, etc., then it’s ok.
We aren’t the only people suffering from Internet overload though. There are millions of people out there (I’m sure of it) who can’t seem to peel themselves away from their computers. And what are these people looking up? Is it information related to work? Is it for laughs? There’s no telling. With the invention of laptop computers, web surfing has only gotten worse, not better. I just recently started using a laptop, and it’s insane how difficult it is to not want to use it! There are only 24 hours in a day; yet, there seems to be an infinite number of web sites out there..waiting…waiting for a surfer like you or me to stumble upon it!
