Computer is a drug?

Why is it in this topic noone's ever bothered even uttering a good word to a computer.Everyone seems to be on an anti-computer spree

why?thats what i want to know.mangos

We extremely appreciate a computer, but we are not saying negative points about it. If you've read, we're discussing why or if a computer is a drug.

Back to the topic, all in all computer isn't a drug in the classical meaning, but it is like a drug: addictive and hard to live without it once it addicted you.
I don't say i'm not addicted. I have been partly addicted almost from the begining. I first met with computers when i was around 5 years old (uh well that was 13 years ago - with a very difficult mathematical operation you can count how old i am ), and there were parts in my life so far where computer played by far the most important part, but if you can learn how to control this, then you will be able to live without computers.

Now computers are very important in my life, but not because i day and night just play with it. It is because i'm learning IT now.

Actually, I'd never wanted to say this but...

I am addicted to computers. I keep thinking about playing my games and surfing the internet, chatting etc. I cant get it out of mind, even at high school. Like smoking, (not really) when my computer is away or I am not using it, I feel incomfortable and depressed, just like a smoker if he tried to give up smoking.
Computer influence you alot in many ways, from games to chat, you cant really resist it.

Sopho try this
1) got to a random p;arty
2) pick a fight (the bigger the better)
3) either kick a$$ or get your a$$ kicked (its fun either way lol)

Then come back and tell us what happened, give us a punch to punch detailed look.

Its pretty fun,
after a while you understand that being in that much pain or inflicting it could be so fun!

I takes a big man to say he's addicted to computers (possibly bigger than me [no not as big lol])

Sopho, this is an addiction that you'l either grow out of, or can be significant for jobs such as engineering and the gaming/movie industry

Pyro- controlling addictions is like controlling a tiger, it gets hyped up with only a little excitement, and its hard to tame
So i say shoot the motherf***** lol

Second thought: your from england so i don't know the culture too well. In the US (specifically in jersey) you get respect either if you win or lose
Also your pretty young so its not that great of an idea

Or you can channel all that urge to get on a computer in to athletics and kicksome arse on the field. play a sport like football or soccor....

I am addicted to computers.I've been on them since i was 3.And I have been playing them ever since.and i am 11 years old now so thats 9 yearsmangos
