Motivational Cowboy Will Roberts talks about Internet Use Addiction (Video)
Motivational Cowboy Will Roberts talks about Internet Use Addiction Okay, so after writing my blog last week on Internet Use Disorder, I started to think. An Internet addict is considered anyone who is online more than 38 hours a week. If you divide that by 7, then that is less than 5.5 hours each day. Specifically, if I spend 5 hours and 27 minutes a day online, then that could classify me as an Internet junkie. When you consider all of the ways Apple, Blackberry, and Android have made it so we can plug in anywhere and anytime, and how often we utilize this 24/7 on-the-move...

Another way that we bring clutter to our lives, pushing away or downgrading those things that we believe to be truly important, is to SAY too much.

To simplify what I am saying, we stand in line to get the newest gadgets and then something newer catches our eye and we move in that direction. Its not really our fault, we are marketed to react.
