My results: "Congratulations, you use the internet far too much! On the plus side, this means that your smartphone is probably caked in so much grime, bacteria and fecal matter that your immune system is borderline invincible. But this is all at the expense of personal connection. Your life will be just as good if you don’t keep on top of all those Miley Cyrus twerking gifs. Go outside. Pitch a tent. I mean, obviously do this somewhere where there’s 4G coverage because you’re going to need to watch a tent-pitching tutorial on YouTube. Baby steps."

Bullshit. I dont have a smart phone, or 4g, and i know how to pitch a tent. I havent seen the Miley Cyrus twirking gifs either. I'll probably look for them later on lol.

'This all seems perfectly normal. You use the internet enough to understand it, but you’re by no means reliant on it. And thanks to this, you’ve got the least funny results paragraph. This serves you right for being so well-adjusted. I hate you.'

lol. Im definitely addicted to online though, literally endless information just a few clicks away!
 
=D
2. Where do you buy your clothes?
In a shop. I don’t dig them out of bins, if that’s what you’re asking.


Your results: You don’t spend much time online at all. In fact, you barely even seem to know what the internet is. Perhaps you were put off by films like The Net or Lawnmower Man. But things have changed. You can use the internet to check the news, do a supermarket shop or keep up with relatives. The pros outweigh the cons
 
Awesome. And a bit weird, given the amount of time I spend here.

I think we are all addicted to technology, especially the internet its the only place where you don't have to put on an act to fit in with the Bullshit that is society.
 
I'm addicted heavily reliant on the internet because the internet is useful and interesting and makes my life better.

It's not a problem.
 
My internet use is a problem sometimes cos its stops me getting other things done. But as passtimes go its a harmless one, maybe even a positive one, as Dark Side said, you have more freedom on the net to say the things you want to say, or need to say, but that might not go down so well IRL.
 
I haven't been offiline in years.

A few years back I was on holiday in Sardinia, felt shit for the first week, then at some point I couldn't take it anymore so went to an internet cafe, a few seconds after logging into Myspace(it was in 2005 afterall) I felt this warm glow on me, started feeling really good and euphoric. I don't know whether it was the light from the computer or just the feeling of being back where I belong, online, sand, sun, sea doesn't really cut it.
 
Lol im practicing reality. Reality is a chat site at the moment for me..sometimes in a group sometimes in pm.

Internet has helped me to see reality as it goes.
 
I don't have to take a test to know I spend too much time online mostly doing pointless shit that doesn't help me achieve anything when I have important shit to do online that is actually worth doing.

I was addicted when I first discovered it about 15 years ago and still am. Then it was chat rooms and efeds (fantasy wrestling leagues) now it's blogs and forums I waste my time on.
 
This all seems perfectly normal. You use the internet enough to understand it
I think I'm online more than 14 hours a day :\ But I don't use fb/twitter/whatever, maybe that's what is saving me!
