Totally Involved in“Cyber”Lifestyle
A net addict clicks away at his keyboard every day. He works on the computer. He plays on the computer. He "lives" on the computer.
Bonnie Landsberger is one such person. Her name came into my head right away when I was asked to write a story about someone who "lives" on the computer. She has 4 PCs, two of which are on nearly 12 hours a day.
Landsberger says, "How in the world did I ever survive without the Internet? 90% of my day is spent sitting in front of a PC monitor whether I'm online or not. The dishes pile up and the dust collects, my hair grows longer and straighter, my body doesn't get much exercise, but none of the friends I'm in contact with the most ever see it."
Landsberger started playing on the computer for the joy of it. She created her own web site for Moonlight Design, the web-based home business she'd started three years ago. By last October her web site had brought in so much work that she resigned her position to work full time on her own design business.
"A large part of my daily life now completely revolves around the Internet," says Landsberger. She spends five hours a day online with work-related tasks, such as doing research on the web and performing routine web site maintenance. About 3-4 hours daily are used for reading and answering e-mails.
Landsberger loves to talk to people who share her hobby or career-related interests. There have been occasions in which Landsberger has been able to meet, in real life, people that she met on the computer.
Landsberger admits that she spends her money on software instead of new clothes, and that she never has time for keeping up with hair cuts or housework. Her neighbor has called her a hermit, a word she uses rather affectionately to describe the hours she spends on the computer.
Landsberger explains, "Most of my life is in this box with a window. I rarely get out of the house except to do a little gardening—most often my husband does the shopping. When I do get out, it's usually for business purposes."
I gave Landsberger my own little test to see if she was a "Net Addict". She had a perfect score, which means that she's definitely living a "Cyber" lifestyle!
