#Essay 6: The Confession of an Internet Addict
When I get back home, the first thing I do is turn on the computer - if it hasn’t been turned on yet - to manage my blogs. In addition to that, I have plenty of things to do online, such as doing research for my papers, listening to the radio on National Public Radio’s website, reading news articles on CNN and TIME, watching music clips on YouTube, searching for data on movies and joining discussions on IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes, and buying books and DVDs on Amazon.com/jp. In other words, I’ve found that it has become difficult for me to imagine a life without the Internet. Moreover, it is apparent that I am not alone. Based on long-term observations, persistent "field study" and my personal experience of being an Internet addict, it has dawned on me that there are three main reasons why people become heavily dependent on the Internet: the convenience, the resourcefulness, and the entertainment that the Internet provides.
To begin with, the Internet has developed into such a ripe stage that it now makes people’s lives extremely convenient. For example, people now don’t have to run their errands to pay their bills at different places; instead, with a few quick clicks of the mouse, they can pay all kinds of bills online, such as phone bills, credit card bills, electricity fees, and even taxes. As for shopping, e-commerce provides an easier and more efficient alternative to physical stores. Online stores take pride in their huge variety of merchandise for customers to choose from; furthermore, owing to cost savings in administration and management, they are also able to offer special discounts to make their goods more desirable. When the products in demand are rare or cannot be purchased locally, online stores are always the best choice. With its reasonable prices, secure payment, and speedy international shipment, once having experienced online shopping, one finds it hard to resist the temptation to stick to it. The Internet also brings many conveniences when it comes to arranging travel. Before the trip, one can easily check the schedule of transportation facilities online and make flight, train, liner, restaurant, and hotel reservations without troublesome procedures.
