Are we all addicted to the Internet and the social networks?


Every morning, when I wake up, one of the first things I do is starting my laptop. Then, before eating something or cleaning my room, I check my e-mails,  I read some press articles on lemonde.fr or I watch a video on youtube.

But as we all know, I'm not the only person to do this. But are we Internet addicts? Can we live without facebook or the billions of web pages?

The computer is not any more an addiction per se: during my holidays, I check my mails with my mobile phone. I think that, as I am a student in a communication school, it's hard for me to be disconnected, and the Internet offers me so many possibilities: I can have access to free information, free music and movies, and so on. The Internet takes such a big place in our lives that it's hard to live without it. But I know I'm not an addict because I'm sure that I could live without the Internet and the social networks... for at least two hours!
