Think You Might Be Addicted to Email?


This is a recent report on the news that I have blogged on my computer training page. I would like to add that if we get snail mail we are quick to go get it if we see the mailman come -- that is not considered an addiction. Email comes in at all times of the day -- like a live feed. If you have an online business that is mainly conducted through email it is probably not an addiction. If we sit down to check our mail several times a day this is probably not an addiction. The high numbers they are referring to are the ones that need to know every time an email arrives -- even while they are sleeping. And on that note -- if you have a son or daughter in Iraq and are waiting to hear from them, then listening for that sound, even at night, is not an addiction either.
I guess my point here is that studies are finding serious addicts but that checking your email does not necessarily make you one of them.
