i should really keep up with the internet,,, anyone see this…?
and which are you…??
PARIS (AFP) – The Internet has given birth to a quirky range of modern addictions and maladies, the British weekly New Scientist says in its Christmas issue published this Saturday.
They include these:
– EGO-SURFING: When you frequently check your name and reputation on the Internet.
– BLOG STREAKING: “Revealing secrets or personal information online which for everybody’s sake would be best kept private.”
– CRACKBERRY: “The curse of the modern executive: not being able to stop checking your BlackBerry, even at your grandmother’s funeral.” (A BlackBerry is a popular handheld device that can be used for phoning, emailing and web-browsing).
– GOOGLE-STALKING: Defined as “snooping online on old friends, colleagues or first dates.”
– CYBERCHONDRIA: “A headache and a particular rash at the same time? Extensive online research tells you it must be cancer.”
– PHOTOLURKING: Flicking through a photo album of someone you’ve never met.
– WIKIPEDIHOLISM: Excess devotion to contributing to the online collaborative encyclopaedia, Wikipedia. (Wikipedia even has a page where you can test whether you’re an addict: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Are-You-a-Wikipediholic-Test)).
– CHEESEPODDING: Downloading of a song “so cheesy that you could cover it in plastic wrap and sell it at the deli counter.” Cheesepodders are especially vulnerable to soft-rock favourites from the 1970s.

Well, Im a definate Cheese Plodder lol!!! The great thing about the net is now days when you sit there late at night and an obscure song comes in your head that provokes brilliant memories you can access it within seconds. Fabulous as my namesake Mrs O would say :wink:
