Signs of Computer Addiction

Just when you think you've heard it all, you discover a new twist on ordinary activities now deemed by society at large, to be an addiction. Computer Addiction is a case in point. The term 'addiction' usually conjures up ideas pertaining to drugs or alcohol. This colloquialism has bad connotations. When you hear people talking of computer addiction, how do you know if you aren't a geeky addict?

Now, in the strictest sense, according to one dictionary/thesaurus definition, addiction is described as ìfixation, inclination, bent; see habit, obsessionî. This description certainly does not connote a rabid personality, engulfed in an obsession which takes over their lives.
