My sister and I were chatting yesterday upon the return from her 2 week vacation in New Zealand, a wondrous adventure during which time she had very little online access. She reported during this offline holiday she felt so much more relaxed, unencumbered by the usual bombardment of responsibilities sent via email, IM, and online project apps. It's not that she's necessarily addicted to the internet, but being directly involved in online content, her job requires being "on" more than "off". But according to the findings of this survey, her generation and younger are finding themselves actually feeling the symptoms of addiction to online access (full infographic below)...

I'm very addicted to the net. When I'm on vacation somewhere without access (African bush, Yosemite, rural Australia and New Zealand), I'm missing my internet in a big way. I don't find lack of access to be relaxing; very much the opposite. I'll be delighted when I can be absolutely anywhere and still be able to get online.
Not addicted, but definitely accustomed to using it as filler whenever I'm bored. It's a bad habit, whitespace - look at net. Probably better off reading something offline.
I love waking up every morning with my cup of coffee and reading my usual blogs. What else is there to do when you're at home? Watch TV? Read a book? Clean?
An addiction is defined as something that interferes with everyday life - for instance if your friends invite you out on a Saturday night but you decline because you're reading Apartment Therapy - then you're addicted!!!
I could easily spend 4-5 hours a day online, but it's what I enjoy doing. Seems like any time you want to go out and do something fun outside your house, it costs some sort of money - and that all adds up. Sure I would love to backpack the world and live life to the fullest, but I'm broke! :) It's all about balance.
