How do I get on the Internet? If you are not hooked up at all, but would like to be, you either need an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or a Web TV hookup. An ISP is like a phone company. You may have a phone, but if you don't have any phone service, you can't make any calls. Likewise with the Internet. You may have a computer (did I mention that you need a computer and a modem?) but can't hook up to the internet without an ISP. Some people dial in through their school or work - find out if this is an option.
Is the Internet Addictive?
Yes, any behavior that has mood altering properties can become addictive. There are numerous neurochemical changes that occur during pleasurable behaviors.
