Are you addicted to technology? Answer these questions to find out if you have a problem managing your use of the technology... donna.donna published on September 11, 2013 Stacked 1/10 How many online social network, communication and media memberships do you have? (Facebook, QQ, Twitter, Wechat, Skype, Bebo, Sina Weibo, Friendster, Renren, Instagram, Viber, Line up, Cyworld, etc.) 0-3 4-7 8 or more 2/10 What is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning? Check your mobile phone in case someone texted you overnight. Have a shower or eat breakfast. Update my facebook status, check into a social network or check my email. 3/10 For how many hours a day are you online? 0-2 3-5 6 or more 4/10 Have you ever been in trouble at school for using a gadget in class? I am always being told off by the teacher for this! Never. A few times. 5/10 How often do you speak to people face-to-face? Most of my communication is with people in real life (face-to face). I text, call or chat online with friends a bit more than I speak to people in real life. I really only communicate via the internet or mobile phone. I only speak to people if I absolutely have to. 6/10 If you had to live for three days without an internet connection, how would you cope? It would be totally impossible! I would be very upset or angry. Three days is a long time - it would be hard. I would survive but I would be a bit unhappy. It might be nice to have a break from the online world for a few days. 7/10 What would you prefer doing: Being online, checking messages, watching videos, chatting online, etc. Talking to a friend on my mobile while watching tv. Going for a nice walk with a good friend. 8/10 How does being online make you feel? What do you think about the online world? I love being online - it's my favourite place in the world! It's okay and can be interesting sometimes, but I usually rather do things in the real world. It makes me feel connected to people and it's entertaining. 9/10 Do you shop online? Not all that much - I have bought things online because they're cheap, but I usually like to see things in real life before I buy them. Always. I hate going to the shops. Often. It's fun shopping online, and you can get some real bargains. 10/10 Have you ever missed a deadline for school work because you were on your computer (or other gadget)? No - my school work comes first. When I finish my homework, I allow myself to go online or call a friend. Yes, all the time. I have even failed some tasks and tests because of my internet use. Sometimes I've not been able to hand in work because I have spent too much time online.
