hello friends how would you define internet addiction? don't you think some of us in this forum have got addicted to internet? it has become difficult for some to spend a single day without internet. instead of dictating terms to a machine, a machine is dictating terms to us. |

Someone should start a specialist forum for internet addicts....Somewhere they could go every hour of every day to discuss their addiction to the internet with fellow internet addicts.... ;---)

Salman, I'll tell you my little secret...I'm actually half man and half computer... I have special patented bionic USB interface terminals that run from my feet via cables to the back of my PC. So you see, with me is not simply a matter of internet addiction...I've tried getting away from my machine but just end up sprawled on the floor in a tangled mess of wires and sockets. COLIN stands for: Computer Operated Linked Intelligence Node Don't tell Bill Gates or he'll send out his spies in order to rip off my cutting edge technological functionality.... |

Assalamu alaikum, Addiction is usually defined as something one can't do without, usually something bad or evil (smoking, drugs, looking at porn, gambling...). Addiction to the internet is only bad or evil if one is looking at/reading/interacting with things that are bad for ones nafs or haraam. If one is browsing porn, reading or looking at haraam things or otherwise using the internet to feed their lusts or corrupt their souls, then I would call that an addiction. Dropping into an Islamic forum each day, reading tafsir, browsing world newspapers, finding out about our religion, using interactive programs to memorize Qur'an or learn Arabic - all these things might be considered as good for one, so I can't see that doing them is an addiction. Peace, ummziba. |

sister ummziba, don't you think that internet addiction may not always mean addiction to haraam things on the net? some people get addicted to the net for different reasons which are not haraam. such people are not able to spend even a day without internet. |
