It's not really an addiction but a necessity today.
Hard to imagine. Back then a lot of time was spent carrying out chores just to survive. The necessities of life required most of their time. Imagine how fit they would be hand working fields or a soldier spending all day sword training.Man the middle ages must of suuuucked.
Using the internet as a tool is absolutely the greatest thing about it. The problem is the internet is rarely used only as a tool. There is a massive amount of time wasted accomplishing nothing. It's fine to have some distraction and entertainment enjoyment from the internet, but how many people can actually say the majority of their internet time is used being productive?
Social media is an incredible waste of time and does more harm than good IMO. The other side of the board can convince themselves that video games are actually a good thing, but it's all mostly a worthless, time wasting, unproductive way to spend your life. Denial of internet addiction isn't going to help.
I really wish the internet was used just a production tool instead of what it's mostly used for.

Before the internet people would just do different 'unproductive' things. It's called.leisure

Why are are you comparing one of your bodys 5 senses to the Internet? That actually seems a bit insulting to those with actual disabilities. If I were a blind person, I wouldnt want my disability as being made equivalent to losing internet access.I'm addicted to seeing.
Yeah, at this point the internet is arguably a substantial form of contact with the world, so of course we'd find its absence unsettling.

Truth.
As a freelancer and small business owner it's also my primary vector of employment. Thank god for cloud services and android apps that allow me to continue working in tandem with other mobile devices when the internet is down (ex: during a hurricane) because without any access at all I would be absolutely fucked.
Sorry but I cannot relate to your hypothetical. Read above for context. To me internet access is absolutely vital.
No, you wouldnt be absolutely fucked. Youd be in good health still and able to find other means to handle your business, even if they arent efficient or good. Going blind is nowhere like your workflow being ruined or not being able to chat with random people alone.Both your senses and the internet allow you to communicate and interact with the world. I'm talking to you right now from a room in my basement. You can see what I'm typing because we both have the internet.

An 8 hour a day desk job with weekends off wasn't happening a lot in the middle ages.

Do some reading, play some games.
Unless you somehow got your hands on a prerelease Xbox One (that also connects to PSN somehow), why do you need to connect to the internet to play your games? Unless theyre all online multiplayer only.Cannot connect to Kindle Store. Failed to connect to PSN.
