The Acute Action Figure Addiction Disorder Council of Australia released the following public service announcement about two years ago, but it is as relevant today as it was then. Please watch and learn how you can fulfill your life to avoid the serious addiction that adults sometimes develop.
The takeaway is clear.
If addictions can be developed from Boba Fett fascinations, then surely you can be afflicted from being on the internet too much.
Twitter and Google+ are not far behind.
You owe it to yourself and your family to spend time away from your computer and cellphone and inhale the outdoor air.

Hi Ari
“You owe it to yourself and your family to spend time away from your computer and cellphone and inhale the outdoor air.”
Amen to that.
I’ve just signed up to twitter and I can’t believe how much time people spend there.
All joking aside, it is a real addiction.
@easyP You will only become addicted if you let yourself.
Twitter *is* a time sink; no denial. But if you don’t look at tweets every day, you won’t be tweeting either.
Are you listening to this, my dear and beloved husband…? lol
I wish……
What can be the effect of having this kind of disorders?
My take on this has to do with spending a lot of spare time browsing the Internet for information; which makes me what, an information junkie? And also, I guess, just for the sake of reading to take my mind off my mind, since I like having a quiet place without too much noise and distraction. And yes, I’ve been told that this sort of thing (that was more about the past habit of watching too much TV) is an addiction, but somehow, with a computer, it feels more proactive, since one has to read and interpret.
