I wonder if there's such a thing as a benign addiction? "Addiction" is quite a negative word... but being obsessed with the Internet isn't too damaging.

I go a few days without internet every now and then just becasue I'm tired of it. That = not addiciton. The internet simply cures the neverending stretch of boredom that is being home.
