Does anyone else have a problem with internet addiction? I find myself surfing the net mindlessly more often then I find myself doing anything constructive with it. The internet is a powerful tool, yet in the hands of the slothful it can become a handicap, and I'm afraid a sin.
I take online courses so I'm online a lot, or at least working on the computer. Outside of this I find myself engaging in unheathly habits like browsing the PB for endless hours (I bet I'm not alone), downloading audio that I probably will never listen to, reading articles, pdf's, ordering books, and who know what else. None of these practices are intrinsically sinful but I find myself engaging in them rather than study, reading the books I ordered, learning hebrew (my main priority right now), or contributing to my local church, etc.
Can anyone relate to these concerns? It seems so hard to use some things responsibly. The internet is a necessary evil in my opinion!
Just wondering if anyone has any advice on managing online time with ones responsibilities, priorities, and the like.
