However, I also understand the gravitational pull of the Net for all kinds of things, whereby the Internet can potentially become a huge time waster and a source of angst for many people.
It is for this reason that (believe it or not) I do not use a computer at home. When I am home I like to spend time with my family. I stare at a computer all day. When I am home, my family deserves my attention and I deserve the pleasure of their unimpeded company and companionship.
This is not simply a luxury which I allow myself, it is truly a necessity. I simply need "down time".
Here is an article I wrote some time ago detailing my desire not to mix "Business & Pleasure".
However, for some people the Internet is a nightmare and a bad addiction. These are people who do not require the Internet in order to conduct their business and make a living. Instead, the Internet draws them in with its addictive powers related to all sorts of pursuits.
Many of these people wind up wasting untold hours and days on the Net, often at the expense of their jobs, families, quality of life and personal happiness.X
