What does it mean to be addicted to the internet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Addiction is the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. Thus, addiction to the internet would mean that you are enslaved to it and could not give it up without serious psychological or physical anguish.
