You sound like me besides I use pc every free minute of the dayI'm on the computer a lot. I get on almost first thing in the morning and it's the last thing I do at night. I'm usually on for most of the afternoon, then after dinner and my shower I get on again. Right now, because my current home life is so messed up and I'm too stressed and close to people and noise than I'd like, I'm on my laptop even more, instead of reading or coloring or something like that (despite that I have tons of books) as I often do later in the afternoon. But I plan to resume those things again as soon as I move into my new room.
I like Wikipedia lolI'm constantly looking for more and more information online. Before I'd get out all the books in the library, but on computers it's even faster. If it wasn't for computers I'd just have excessive taking out of books instead. But as it is, yes, I'm on the computer most of my free time which you could call excessive. It isn't the computer I'm addicted to, it's what they're capable of - that is, internet access (the internet is full of information on anything and everything) and ways to take notes and draw diagrams and keep them there in neat folders.
