There is always something someone is going to come up with that isnt healthy for us. Like sitting on our butts all day and not exercising. I am disabled and take care of two elderly parents. My life is my computer! Does that make me addicted?

my new year's resolution is less time online, definitely getting smarter about that - 9pm switch off, no matter what....
