1) I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my newspaper like I used to, before the Web.

2) I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.

3) I will get dressed before noon.

4) I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of the Web.

5) I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Web-deprived.

6) I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Web.

7) I will read a book...if I still remember how.

8) I will listen to those around me and their needs and stop telling them to turn the TV down so I can hear the music on the Web.

9) I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.

10) I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.

11) I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my checkbook because I was too busy on the Web.

12) Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometime ... and the Web will always be there tomorrow!

oh god...that describes me scarily....

Although I do manage to get some household stuff done. If I could WAKE UP before noon it would be a good start. Although I am getting alot worse now that I have set up my digital tv reciever on this comp. which means that I am constantly chatting on IRC, watching TV, browsing forums, checking email and programming.

I do use the phone occasionally(i promise) although for most people its email, in person or not at all :)

Breakfast doesnt happen for me really, If i have to be up before noon its usually for a very good reason(like going somewhere) so I just grab a banana and head out.

Yup but strangely, even being a huge web addict none of them can be applied to me ;)

These describe alot of people I know, myself for a start.
