INTERNET OBSESSION !!!

.Today the internet is a crucial part of everyday life for most people.  It is used for school, for work, for shopping, health issues and to keep in contact with people we otherwise would never get to talk to on a daily bases.  Due to the convenience of the internet it has led many people to be overly obsessed with it.  Sites such as facebook, twitter, and myspace, amazon and multiple others are being said to be ruining the lives of many people.  They have trouble focusing on school and work with all the many distractions that the internet offers and find themselves falling behind in school, getting fired from their jobs and slowly loosing their lives to these sites.  
 I have used the internet for shopping but never for dating or gaming.  I know multiple people who have and continue to play games on the internet and who are actively using the internet to date.  I do not know anyone who has developed an obsession for one of these activities, however not too long ago I saw a television program that's daily topic was internet obsessions.
