20 - 49 points: You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage. (I got 28)

It is addictive people. This doesn't mean not having a life. Maybe the fact it is addictive is the reason people choose the "online" life. A "second" life. It doesn't make you a loser, just maybe you've got a lot of shit going on in your real life, and come online for a cyberhug. WTH lol. It is addictive, there is no doubt about it.

When I stopped having internet for 3 or so weeks, I didn't "miss" it, but I certainly remember I got a lot more done in terms of reading (a book, in this case George Orwell's 1984) and other stuff.

It is time-consuming also. So even though teh test tells me I'm an average addict, we have to realize time burns away when you're online, a bit like when you fasten yourself a doobie, or a pinch of psylocibin.
