You stay up all night and sleep all day. All your meals are eaten in front of the computer. Your frozen TV dinners have turned into frozen computer dinners. You\'re just getting off the computer when someone else goes to work. Your kitchen is empty yet you won\'t leave the computer to shop. You spend all your time thinking about what to do with your homepage. You spend more time as a chair potato than as a couch potato. You get a port-a-potty so you don\'t have to go too far from the computer. You buy a little refrigerator to sit right by the computer. When you stand up, your legs are stiff. You have a pyramid of empty pop cans or coffee cups by the computer. The very first thing you do of a morning is log on. You dream about reading email and browsing the web. You remember computer commands easier than names of family members. You continue typing after you\'re asleep. You know more people on the computer than you do off the computer. You know the whole atlas from asking people on IRC where they\'re from. You know how the weather is everywhere but haven\'t been out in your own. Your computer and desk are filled with pictures of people from IRC. Your excuse for turning something in late is \"I just couldn\'t leave IRC.\" When you do leave the house, you can\'t wait to get back and on the \'net. Your e-mail address book has more names than your snail mail book. You sit and dial for an hour or more to get on the \'net. You put up with an icky VMS account from Marshall. You spend every night on the \'net when you used to be a party animal. |
