Curious Cyber Conditions: Addicted to Internet
I’m addicted to Internet! What about you? Take a look below this and I will tell you.
The internet has given birth to a quirky range of modern maladies and addictions, says New Scientist Magazine:
- Ego-surfing: When you frequently check your name and reputation on the internet.
- Blog-streaking: Revealing secrets or personal information online that for everybody’s sake would be best kept private.
- Crackberry: The curse of the modern executive: not being able to stop checking your BlackBerry, even at your grandmother’s funeral.
- Google-stalking: Defined as snooping online on old friends, colleagues or first dates.
- Photo-lurking: Flicking through an online photo album of someone you’ve never met.
- Cheesepodding: Downloading of a song “so cheesy that you could cover it in plastic wrap and sell it at the deli counter”.
So, admit it. You do these stuffs every single day once you open your eyes. Bingo, you’re an internet addict.
