Internet Addiction and treatment in Turkey – More and more people are “logging on” as the Internet becomes increasingly available to everyone, even those in the most remote corners of the world. However with this surge of web users, comes a surge of web addicts. Although the concept of “internet addiction” has been debated by specialists since the mid 90’s, Turkey has been progressively acknowledging the illness by opening Internet addiction clinics all across the country to help treat this modern day problem.

You’re just procrastinating.
There is nothing wrong with procrastinating. Some people need the pressure from leaving it until the last moment to be able to perform at their peak.
If your studies does not require computer access, then move to another room or the public library. Use the internet as a break to relax your mind every two hours or so, but be disciplined to limit your break duration.
well first of all you shud have gud concentration and determination to do something like studying. if you’re so addicted and cant live without internet you’d better study outside the house or lock your computer room or just remove your computer connection. anyways gud luck for your exam and happy studying!!
join the club. each morning when i wake up, i go straight to my computer. i try not to, but i am drawn to it like a magnet. it may be an addiction, but hey, there’s worse addictions out there, believe me. i have wondered how i ever got along without it, and am very distressed if i can’t spend at least 4-5 hours per day on line. there’s just so much information out there, it’s like i HAVE to read it all. then when i find what it is i’m looking for, i find something else that distracts me and i’m off to an entirely different site to check it out. before you know it, i’ve spent 3 hours and forgot what i was looking for in the first place. really, is it such a bad thing, to be addicted to the computer? as long as you take care of your other responsibilities, you can look forward to your “fun” time on the computer. that’s really all i can say because i don’t think it’s a bad enough problem to be bothered with considering the drama that everyday life brings. as long as you are not doing anything illegal, why worry about it?
all guys are
just get off now and switch off the computer and try to stay far far far faaaaaaaaarr away from the computer…
