Why Are Nerds Addicted To The Internet?

Home More advice Computers & Tech

• Answer #1

  For me, the internet is a thing of convinience. For example:

  ~I call my family on skype for free- they live on the other side of the world, and toll calls can be expensive where I am. ~I can hit a button and get my groceries delivered- I don't drive so I can't carry more than a week's groceries from the shop, and often the delivery charge is less than the bus/train/taxi fare. ~I can do my banking, organise my expenses, etc. ~Buy music off Itunes I can't get in stores

  I'm a self proclaimed geek and proud. I love the internet and all the ways it makes life easier. However, no-one spends all their time online. I've associated with some pretty hardcore gamers/geeks/nerds, and they all sleep for vast periods of time, cook, go out and socialise, work full time jobs etc.

  Furthermore, my husband is a real geek- so much so, he works for Google. He spends a lot of time online doing actual work, because it's his job. You'll find that plenty of geeks have some type of work they are actually required to do online.

• Answer #2

  I think it sometimes does more harm then good. People loose there social skills and how to entertain themselves without a computer, game and so on. I still enjoy the outdoors or reading a book before the computer. I hope more people choose to be more active in their lives. I do feel this is one of the reason's of Obesity in people and our children.
