INTERNET USERS TURN ADDICTS
580 Words - 3 Pages.... "Internet Addicts." Based on
level of addiction, there are three groups of Internet addicts: i) the
"I'm-not-addicted users," ii) the "I-only-use-it-when-I-have-to- users"
and iii) the "Internet junkies."
The "I'm-not-addicted users" are the users who try to convince

the security guy's ready to lock up the building. ....

However and whenever these attacks occur, they usually fall in at least one of the following categories: obscenity and violence, religion. What is obscenity?

tapped by any imagination with sufficient motivation. As a child, Janie
longs for the glorious truth which tickles her fancy through the heavenly
scent of the pear tree, but the hard materialism of her grandmother and
later her first husband restrain her by trying to crowd her mind with the

appealing, he too is unable to comprehend that life is in the living and
the being, and not in the having and the controlling. Janie not knowing
what marriage really meant, married because she thou ....

In the absence of my father I would represent the family at various family and social functions. Maybe that is why I grew up or matured, if I may say so, much before any of my or for that matter any other teenager around me.
