“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning to surf the Intern”

“I check my e-mail almost forty times a day.”

“I seldom spend less than three hours each time on the net.”

“spend more time in chat rooms than with my 'real-life’ friends.”

    For example,one college student was missing for several days.His friends were worried and 1ooked for him everywhere but couldn’t find him.They called the police.The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the Internet — for seven days straight.
