Does anyone else note the correlation between hobbies and lifestyles and so called "addiction?"
Im addicted to working because I like money...lol
I hate people who think they can tell me what to do.
"8 hours on the computer (having fun) a day is no good for you."
But its ok for the rest of the population to go out on a weekend and spend all their money getting absolutely smashed drunk.
I choose the more economical way of having fun (in the long term anyway).
Has anyone noticed that the first alternative people offer to people who spend alot of time on the computer is to go outside in the fresh air and play a sport, like we are some sort of cave dwelling primate with lax fitness?
The reason technology is so addicting is that its so diverse. There is always something new for you to be doing. Its not like we are doing the same thing in out every day (like booting up your console and playing Halo all day). Computers teach you things, computers get you places you cant get in RL, and most importantly they let you run faster with your knife out
Sure does beat the crap out of a nicotine addiction
Unlike console nerds who play the same game 10 hours a day (housemate on final fantasy) or the 'normal' people who go out and get drunk, today i built 2 mATX rigs and one ATX - two core 2 duos, one A64 FX62. Each one had special needs (power, noise, etc) and had to fit into tiny cases. Somehow i find that more of an intellectual challenge, and more exciting, than getting really drunk and making ugly chicks pregnant.
