  phil baumann online — Authority: 114
  The Web has me. Twitter has me. My Android has me. I’m a control freak. Ergo : I will be untangling and untweeting and untexting myself for a while. The Web has begun to use me more than I use it.

• Whole Lot of Forgetting Going On

  
  Bertram's Blog — Authority: 117
  I find myself in a peculiar situation. For two and a half years, I lived for the Internet. First thing in the morning, I went online to see what was going on, checked again in the afternoon, and then spent all evening and late into the night in cyberspace. Most days I posted to my blog. That was always one of my ...

• Teens taking Facebook breaks together

  
  NetFamilyNews — Authority: 431
  I think its not so much taking a break from technology as it is from high school drama – though social networking does make it easy to have the drama in their faces 24/7, if they allow it to.

  World of Psychology — Authority: 546
  Some would argue that one can become “addicted” to the Internet. I’ve argued for over a decade this is a fairly ridiculous assertion that doesn’t even withstand a simple test of logic. Because if we can become addicted to the pipes that bring us information and friendship, it stands to reason one can become ...
